In electroantennographic studies on Tortrix viridana ma­les, (E)-11-tridecenyl acetate displayed the highest activity of all straight-chain alkenyl acetates. However, evidence obtained by gas chromatography coupled to an electroan­tennographic detector or a mass spectrometer indicated that the ubiquitous pheromone compound (Z)-11-tetrade- cenyl acetate is the main component in the T. viridana fe­male secretion. This compound and both (Z)- and (E)-11- tridecenyl acetate were found to be attractants for T. viridana males in the field. (Z)-9- and (E)-11-tetradecenyl acetate were not attractive and reduced male catches when added to either (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate or (E)-11-tridecenyl acetate. No evidence for synergistic effects was obtained.

Abstract Evidence obtained by glass capillary gas chromatography coupled to an electroantennographic detector or a mass spectrometer confirmed that Z-11-hexadecenyl acetate is the major component in the pheromone gland washes of calling Mamestra brassicae female moths. Three other components were identified, tetradecanyl acetate, hexadecanyl acetate and E-11-hexadecenyl acetate; but none of these had obvious synergistic effects in attracting males in field tests. The attraction of males to Z -11-hexadecenyl acetate was inhibited by 0.1% Z -11-hexadecenol or 1% Z-9- tetradecenyl acetate.

AbstractZ8-tetradecenyl acetate (Z8-14OAc andZ8-tetradecenyl alcohol (Z8-14OH) were identified as sex pheromone components of the eyespotted bud moth, Spilonota ocellana (Denis and Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Olethreutidae). Compounds were identified by gas chrornatographic-eleclroantennographic (GC-EAD) and GC-mass spectroscopic analyses and field tested in apple orchards in the Okanagan Valley, B.C. Although Z8-14OAc alone was attractive to male S. ocellana, the addition of 1–5% Z8-14OH strongly synergized its attraction. Field tests comparing the attractiveness of virgin female S. ocellana with various doses of a 99:1 blend of Z8-14OAc and Z8-14OH indicated the natural sex pheromone has only two significant components. A 99:1 blend of Z8-14OAC and Z8-14OH is suggested for monitoring and control of S. ocellana populations in British Columbia.
