Abstract

The analyses of virgin female sex pheromone gland extracts and gland volatiles by GC, GC-EAD and GC-MS, followed by field trapping experiments, have identified (E)-9-dodecenyl acetate (E9-12∶Ac) as the primary sex pheromone component of the purplestriped shootworm,Zeiraphera unfortunana. Dosages of 1.0-10.0 μg ofE9-12∶Ac impregnated in rubber septa provide an effective trap bait and can be used for monitoring purposes.
