Pheromone release by individual females of codling moth, Cydia pomonella

Sammanfattning

The gland titer and release of sex pheromone was studied in individual Cydia pomonella females. An increase of the main compound (E,E)-8, 10-dodecadien-1-ol (codlemone) from 5.5 to 9 ng/gland, during the first 2 hr of calling, matched an increase in the release rate from 5 to 7 ng/hr/female. The average proportion of the minor compounds dodecan-1-ol, (E)-9-dodecen-1-ol, and tetradecan-1-ol in the effluvium decreased within 2 hr from 59% to 33%. Their proportion in the gland peaked 1 hr before the onset of the scotophase at 78% and decreased to 16% at 2 hr after onset of calling. Addition of these minor components to codlemone did not increase male attraction to field traps.
