Response of the Fall Armyworm and Other Lepidopterous Pests of Bolivia to Synthetic Pheromones
Abstract
Pheromones for the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), and 4 other lepidopterous pest species were field tested for attractancy in Bolivia in February 1978. The fall armyworm in Bolivia responded to the pheromone [(Z)-9-dodecen-1-ol acetate] identified for this species in the United States. Positive responses for respective species were recorded also for gossyplure [1:1 mixture of (Z,Z)- and (Z,E)-7,11-hexadecadien-1-ol acetate], the pheromone for the pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders); (Z)-7-dodecen-1-ol acetate, the pheromone for the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hubner), and soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens (Walker); and an attractant for the tomato pinworm, Keiferia lycopersicella (Walsingham).Downloads
