| Sex Pheromone of the Brazilian Apple Leafroller, Bonagota cranaodes Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae)  | | | | Abstract
| The female sex pheromone of Bonagota (=Phthteochroa) cranaodes (Meyrick) is a blend of (£,Z)-3,5-dodecadienyl acetate (£ 3 ,Z 5 -1 2 :A c) and (Z)-9-hexadecenyl acetate (Z 9 -1 6 :A c) according to analysis of pheromone -gland extracts and field trapping in apple orchards. This is the first time that £ 3 ,Z 5 -1 2:Ac has been identified as a lepidopteran sex pheromone. Traps baited with 100 |ig £ 3 ,Z 5 -1 2 :A c were attractive over 15 weeks in the field and were as effective as traps baited with virgin females. Addition of Z 9 -1 6 :A c to £ 3 ,Z 5 -1 2 :A c at ratio of 1:10 had a significantly increase of male moths. The addition of the Z ,E and Z ,Z isomers to rubber septa baited with £ 3 ,Z 5 -1 2 :A c did not modify B. cranaodes male attrac tion, but 10% of E E enhanced trap catch. | | | |
