The female sex pheromone of the sugar cane borer, Chilo sacchariphagus, has been shown to contain the two structurally related compounds, (Z)-130octadecenyl acetate (I) and (Z)-13-octadecen-1-o1 (II). These components were detected in female abdominal tip extracts by gas liquid chromatography (GLC) combined with electroantennography (EAG) and were identified by their GLC behaviour, micro0ozonolysis and interconversion, and by comparison of natural and synthetic material. Field tests in Mauritius showed that traps baited with componentsI and II combined in ratios from 1:1 to 9:1 caught male C. sacchariphagus moths, and that the 7:1 ratio was comparable in performance with a virgin female moth. Neither component presented separately in traps caught significant numbers of moths. | |
