Abstract
A binary mixture of (Z)-11-hexadecenal and (Z)-13-octadecenal was first identified as the sex pheromone components of female Chilo suppressalis. Later, an additional component was identified as (Z)-9-hexadecenal, which markedly enhanced the attractiveness to males when it was mixed to the binary mixture. Rubber septa containing ca. 0.3–1.0 mg of a mixture of the above three components in the natural ratio have been shown to keep up significantly higher attractiveness than virgin females for at least one month. It has also been shown that the pheromone trap is much more effective than a light trap, where both traps usually showed similar trap catch patterns. Several factors affecting trap catch, such as trap type, trap placement, etc., have been examined. Feasibility of the population monitoring with the synthetic pheromone was discussed.
Résumé
Un mélange binaire de (Z)-11-hexadecenal et (Z)-13-octadecenal qui a été identifié pour la première fois s’est rèvélé le consituent de la phéromone sexuelle de la femelle de Chilo suppressalis. Par la suite un autre constituent, (Z)-9-hexadecenal a été identifié. Cette substance a remarquablement augmenté l’attractivité vers le maie après avoir été incorporée au mélange binaire. Les septa de gomme contenant ca. 0.3–0.6 mg d’un mélange de ces trois constituents dans un rapport naturel, ont montré une attractivité plus élevée que celle des femelle vierge pendant un minimum d’un mois. Il a aussi été demontré que la trappe pheromonaire était plus effecace que la trappe lumière, où les deux trappes montraient habituellement un effet similaire pour la capture. Nous avons examiné les facteurs qui influencent la trappe de capture, par example le type de trappe, l’endroit où la trappe est placée etc. Nous avons discuté la possibilité de contrôler la population avec les phéromone synthétiques.
