(E)11-Hexadecenyl acetate was identified from sex pheromone gland extract of female eggplant borer. The acetate synthesized in the laboratory showed high attractant activity in the field.

The objective of this work was to determine the best conditions of use of the synthetic sex pheromone of Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton for monitoring this species in citrus groves in northeastern Brazil. Pheromone doses (0.0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 μg) and longevity (1, 15, 29, 43 and 57-day-old lures) and trap height (0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 m), color (green, red, and white) and model influence on P. citrella males capture were evaluated. The doses of 10 and 100 μg of the synthetic sex pheromone - a 3:1 blend of (Z,Z,E)-7,11,13-hexadecatrienal and (Z,Z)-7,11-hexadecadienal - attracted the greatest number of P. citrella males. Traps baited with these two both dosages continued to capture P. citrella males at a comparable rate for over eight weeks in citrus groves. Although there was no significant decrease in activity of both dosages until 57 days of exposure to the environment, the higher dose, as time passed, attracted significantly more P. citrella males than the lower dose. There were no significant differences in male capture in traps with synthetic sex pheromone placed at 1.5 and 2.5 m height, wich had the better results. Trap color and model did not affect male capture.

Aim: Identification and characterization of female released sex pheromone components of jute semilooper, Anomis sabulifera Guenee (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from female pheromone gland extracts. Methodology: Electroantennogram (EAG) was carried for studying the antennal response; Gas Chromatography coupled with Electro antenna Detector (GC-EAD) was conducted for studying the antennal response of eluted compounds from female pheromone gland extract; Gas Chromatography and Mas Spectrophotometry (GC-MS) was conducted for characterization or getting complete profile of compounds present in the female pheromone gland extract based on retention times. Wind tunnel assay was conducted for studying the behavioural responses of eluted compounds from the female pheromone gland extract. Results: GC-MS profile of female pheromone gland extract revealed that the GC-EAD active region constituted (6Z,9Z)-heneicosadiene, (3Z,6Z,9Z)-heneicosatriene as active compounds. Preliminary wind tunnel studies for olfactory and behavioural responses showed blend of (6Z,9Z)-heneicosadiene (3 parts) + (3Z,6Z,9Z)-heneicosatriene (1 part) enticed 60% male adults. Interpretation: (6Z,9Z)-heneicosadiene and (3Z,6Z,9Z)-heneicosatriene are likely to be active pheromone components present in female sex pheromone glands. Blending of these two compounds in precise ratio can enhance the effectiveness of pheromone and can be used as effective strategy in jute IPM. Key words: Anomis sabulifera, Jute semilooper, Noctuidae, Sex pheromone, (6Z,9Z)-heneicosadiene, (3Z,6Z,9Z)-heneicosatriene
