Abstract
The rate of evaporation of lauryl acetate, the saturated analogue of the sex pheromone of Trichoplusia ni (Hubner), from various substrates as a function of temperature was determined. Filter paper showed the largest temperaturc dependence, whereas a nonadsorptive surface such as glass or stainless steel had a relatively low temperature dependence. Using a pheromone-baited trap, the number of male moths caught went through a maximum as a function of the rate of evaporation of pheromone.
