Rauscher, Stefan published the artcileEffects of dodecyl acetate and Z-10-tridecenyl acetate on attraction of Eupoecilia ambiguella males to the main sex pheromone component, Z-9-dodecenyl acetate, Recommanded Product: (Z)-Dodec-9-en-1-yl acetate, the publication is Journal of Chemical Ecology (1984), 10(2), 253-64, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
Attraction of E. ambiguella males to Z-9-dodecenyl acetate (Z9-12:Ac) [16974-11-1], alone and in combination with dodecyl acetate (12:Ac) [112-66-3] or Z-10-tridecenyl acetate (Z10-13:Ac) [64437-24-7] was tested in both wind-tunnel and field experiments In the laboratory, response to Z9-12:Ac reached a distinct dosage optimum at which attraction was nearly as good as to live females. Addition of 12:Ac, a minor component of female glands and effluvia, had no effect at low doses of Z9-12:Ac and only marginally improved attraction at the optimum. However, inclusion of 12:Ac with an overdose of Z9-12:Ac, fully restored activity. In the field, Z9-12:Ac alone was not very attractive at any dose; catches markedly increased by adding 12:Ac and climbed with increasing dose of each compound ≤10 mg. Optimum ratio of Z9-12:Ac to 12:Ac was 1:1-1:5. Z10-13:Ac, had the same effect as 12:Ac in the laboratory and the field, but was effective at a lower dose. In the field, inclusion of the synergist permits use of high cap loads to attract more males, perhaps from greater distances.
