Abstract

A wind tunnel was used to evaluate controlled-release dispensers containing (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate (Z-9-TDA), (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate (Z-11-TDA), (Zs)-11-tetradecenyl acetate (E-11-TDA), 10-methyldodecyl acetate (10-Me-DA), a 4-component mixture (Z-9-TDA:Z-11-TDA:E-11-TDA: 10-Me-DA=70:30:5:20) and a 3-component mixture [Z-9-TDA: Z-ll-TDA: (Z)-9-dodecenyl acetate (Z-9-DDA) = 1:1:1] as disruptants for the smaller tea tortrix moth, Adoxophyes sp. Among the 6 candidate dispensers, Z-11-TDA, the 4-component mixture and the 3-component mixture effectively suppressed the male moth catch in a trap baited with 4-component pheromone dispenser in the wind tunnel. The mechanisms of orientation disruption were discussed based on the behavior of male moths in the tunnel. © 1986, JAPANESE SOCIETY OF APPLIED ENTOMOLOGY AND ZOOLOGY. All rights reserved.
