Abstract

Formates analogous to the aldehyde sex pheromones of several species of Lepidoptera have been shown to have biological activity, (E)-9-Dodecen-1-yl formate was therefore tested against male spruce budworm (C. fumiferana) by EAGs and by field trapping experiments designed to test for attraction, inhibition, and disruption. No biological activity was detected.

Résumé

Des formiates analogues aux phéromones aldéhydiques de plusieurs espèces de Lépidoptères se sont avérés biologiquement actifs. On a donc expérimenté le (E)-9-dodecen-1-yl formiate contre le mâle de la tordeuse des bourgeons de l’épinette (C. fumiferana) au moyen d’électroantennogrammes (EAG) et d’expériences de piégeage en plein champ conçues pour tester l’attraction, l’inhibition et le démembrement. Aucune activité biologique n’a été détectée.
