Abstrakt: Sex pheromone components collected from femaleChristoneura retiniana included 11-tetradecenyl acetates and alcohols. The major component wasE-11-tetradecenyl acetate (E11–14:Ac) with a lesser amount ofZ isomer necessary to induce male response. A 92:8 ratio ofE,Z11–14: Ac appeared optimal. The alcohol component was present at about 10% of the total pheromone mixture, and traps baited with acetates plus alcohol surpassed unmated females in their degree of attractiveness. Chemical analysis indicated a 9::1 ratio of theE — Z isomers of 11-tetradecenyl alcohol (11–14:ol) pheromone components, although bait formulations containing a predominance of either theE orZ isomers were equally successful in field bioassays. Based on male response to traps,E- andZ11–14:Ac (92:8E — Z) are essential pheromone components for long-range sex attraction. The 11–14: ol enhanced attraction when added at 10% of the total pheromone blend.
