Abstract
Inclusion of traces of (Z)-11-hexadecenol in synthetic sex lure traps for bertha armyworm moths resulted in diminished trapping; substantial amounts of (Z)-9-hexadecenol or (Z)-11-hexadecenal were also suppressant. Of 22 other oxyolefins tested, (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate acted in conjunction with the bertha lure components to attract Euagrotis tepperi (Walker) to traps, and (Z)-7-tetradecenyl acetate similarly to attract Lacinipolia vicina (Grote). No tested additive improved either the potency or the specificity of the original bertha blend.
