ABSTRACT:
A composition of three compounds, (E,E)-10,12-tetradecadien-1-ol acetate (I), (Z)-11-tetradecen-1-ol acetate (II), and (Z)-9-tetradecen-1-ol acetate (III), in a weight ratio of about 100:18:4 (I:II:III) is a highly effective sex attractant (pheromone) for the male mint root borer. The composition demonstrates biological activity toward mint root borer males comparable to or greater than that of the mint root borer moth females. By attracting adult males to field traps, the composition provides a means for detecting, monitoring, and controlling this agricultural pest.
