Abstract:
(E, E)-10,12-hexadecadienal (HDD) effectively attracted males of Earias insulana (Boisduval) when released from polyethylene vials but not from rubber dispensers. Traps baited with 3 mg HDD/trap were as effective in luring males as traps baited with four virgin females. Funnel traps baited with either HDD or virgin females captured significantly more males than water traps baited with the same lures. © 1981 Springer Science + Business Media B.V.
