摘要: Male olive fruit fly attraction to the four synthetic components of female sex attractant pheromone was studied under laboratory and field conditions. In tests males responded all tested separately. Component I, (1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane) more attractive than any remaining three alone, but a combination component I alone. with polyethylene vials as dispensers, complete mixture, although not statistically significant, constantly A tendency enhancement by combining it II (α-pinene) or III (n-nonanal) also observed. rubber septa dispensers only attractive.
