Biological Activities of Analogues of 10-Methyldodecyl Acetate, a Sex-Pheromonal Component of the Smaller Tea Tortrix Moth(Adoxophyes sp., Lepidoptera : Tortricidae)

Abstract

Biological activities of 26 analogues of 10-methyldodecyl acetate, a sex-pheromonal component of the smaller tea tortrix moth, were evaluated under field conditions. 9-Methylundecyl acetate and other several analogues were good substitutes for 10-methyldodecyl acetate indicating a relatively low structural specificity of particular pheromonal component in the multi-component pheromone system.
