Abstract
A rate of 5 mg/h/ha of ( Z )-11-tetradecenyl acetate either alone or combined with other chemicals, completely disrupted the orientation of Argyrotaenia velutinana males to pheromone baited traps in small plots, but was not very effective with Choristoneura rosaceana males. A mixture of ( Z )-11- and ( E )-11-tetradecenyl acetate and ( Z )-11- and ( E )-11-tetradecenyl alcohol at a rate of 5 mg/h/ha for each chemical was the most effective against C. rosaceana males although it was not significantly better than a mixture of just the 2 isomers. Z11-14:OH and Z11–14:formate tested individually at rates of 5 mg/h/ha poorly disrupted the orientation of males of either species.
