ABSTRACT:
A composition of two compounds, (Z)-11-tetradecen-1-ol and (Z)-9-dodecen-1-ol acetate, in a ratio of 100:0.3 to 100:2.5 is a highly effective attractant for the male apple ermine moth. The composition demonstrates biological activity toward apple ermine moth males comparable to or greater than that of the apple ermine moth females. By attracting adult males to field traps, the composition provides a means for detecting, monitoring, and controlling this agricultural pest.
