Abstract

A sex stimulant to the Periplaneta males was isolated from various plant leaves and identified as germacrene D. The compound was active with a threshold amount of 10 µg to the males of Periplaneta americana L. and P. japonica Karny. The response elicited with germacrene D was identical with that caused by the female sex pheromone of the each species. © 1976, Japan Society for Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Agrochemistry.
