Natural Pheromone

Z-7-Dodecenyl acetate and Z-7-dodecenyl alcohol have been identified as sex pheromone components o f female Autographa gamma. This is the first time that Z-7-dodecenyl alcohol has been found in the natural pheromone of Plusiinae. When incorporated in pherom one traps of some Plusiinae species the alcohol is both synergist and inhibitor, thus being an important factor in sex isolation among sympatric Plusiinae species in Israel

Synthetic Blend

AbstractThe sex pheromone components of the black army cutworm, Actebia fennica (Tauscher), were identified in abdomen-tip extracts from calling female moths. The primary pheromone component was (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate. Although (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate was detectable only in trace quantities in the extracts, it was the major component in the best synthetic blend for attraction of male moths. The most effective synthetic blend was (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate and (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate at a ratio of 1:20. No other component detected in the extracts increased trap capture of males when added to the two-component blend; however, (Z)-5-dodecenyl acetate, (Z)-7-dodecenol, and (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate reduced catches. This two-component blend will be useful for studying the habits of the adults and for population monitoring.

AbstractRegular catches of males of Spodoptera exempta (Walker) were made in 41 pheromone disc traps scattered throughout Malawi in 1978–82. Each trap had a vial, replaced monthly, containing 2 mg of a 13·3:1 mixture of two sex-pheromone components of the female. Over the five-year period, males were caught every month at a majority of sites throughout the country, suggesting that they came from populations resident in Malawi. Sites at which moths were regularly caught had areas with green grass throughout the year which could have sustained larvae within their vicinity. A few sites at which moths were caught only occasionally had very dry immediate surroundings in the dry season, and it is suggested that moths caught at these sites are primarily migrants from either within or outside Malawi. There was no obvious relationship between site elevation, monthly rainfall and monthly moth catches or whether moths were caught persistently or irregularly. The results strongly suggest that some of the moths captured throughout the year in Malawi developed locally while some originate in other countries such as Mozambique.
