ABSTRACT:
N-Tetradecyl formate has been found to be effective as a sex pheromone mimic for disrupting the reproductive cycle of insects, especially the Heliothis complex which includes Heliothis zea (corn earworm), Heliothis virescens (tobacco budworm), and Heliothis armigera. The compound and compositions containing the compound n-tetradecyl formate may be applied to crops which are subject to damage by such insects in any suitable manner, for example, in sprays, dusts and powders. Particularly effective compositions comprise polymeric particles or flakes containing n-tetradecyl formate. The particles or flakes may have an adhesive coating so that upon application the particles become attached to the upper leaves, stalks, etc. where the insects tend to be more concentrated.
