title: Attraction ofCacoecimorpha pronubana male moths to synthetic sex pheromone blends in the wind tunnel.
abstract: Attraction ofCacoecimorpha pronubana male moths to blends of four sex pheromone components was studied in the wind tunnel.Z11-14∶Ac alone did not elicit upwind flight, admixture of 10%Z11-14∶OH or more led to successful attraction of males to the source. Attractivity of these binary blends was further enhanced by addition ofE11-14∶Ac orZ9-14∶Ac; the optimum was a blend ofZ11-14∶Ac,Z11-14∶OH,E11-14∶Ac, andZ9-14∶Ac at the proportion of 100∶30∶3∶3. In ternary and quaternary blends, the effect ofZ11-14∶OH andE11-14∶Ac was strongest at 30% and 3%, respectively. By contrast,Z9-14∶Ac increased behavioral responses over a wide range.
