ABSTRACT:
Compositions of .alpha.-ionone were found to effectively attract rose chafers, Macrodactylus subspinosus (F.). The .alpha.-ionone may be used alone or in combination with one or more low-molecular-weight organic compounds including: (1) an organic acid component selected from the group of valeric acid, hexanoic acid, and mixtures thereof, (2) an ester component comprising octyl butyrate, and/or (3) an alcohol component comprising one or more higher alcohols. By attracting the beetles to field traps, the attractants are useful for the monitoring and control of these agricultural pests.
