A SEX ATTRACTANT FOR MALES OF THE EARLY CUTWORM, EUXOA TRISTICULA (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE)1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Abstract
Adult Euxoa tristicula (Morrison) males were specifically attracted to traps baited with Z-9-dodecenyl acetate (Z9-12:Ac) + n-dodecyl acetate (12:Ac). Best attractancy was obtained with 1:3 ratios of these components. Z-5- and Z-7-dodecenyl acetates and Z-9-tetradecenyl acetate inhibited lure attractancy. In electroantennogram measurements strong antennal responses were obtained only with 12:Ac, Z9-12:AC, and E9-12:Ac.
