Demonstration and Characterization of a Persistent Pheromone Lure for the Navel Orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

Insects, 2014
The lack of an effective pheromone lure has made it difficult to monitor and manage the navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), in the economically important crops in which it is the primary insect pest.

Optimization of the sex pheromone-based method for trapping field populations of Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) in South China

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021
Despite the identification of the potato tuber moth Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) sex pheromone, no effective application based on this pheromone has yet been developed and evaluated.

A simple sex pheromone cone trap.

Japanese journal of applied entomology and zoology, 1990
Effectiveness of a simple cone trap was examined in a wind tunnel and a field cage. The cone trap was more effective for capture of Acanthoplusia agnata and Autographa nigrisinga males than the water-pan trap.

Sampling gravid Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) in Tanzania with traps baited with synthetic oviposition pheromone and grass infusions

, 2000
The effectiveness of traps baited with (5R,6S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide (the synthetic oviposition pheromone) and grass infusions in sampling a population of gravid Culex quinquefasciatus Say was conducted in Muheza, Northeast Tanzania.

Improved Monitoring of Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in Stone Fruit Orchards with a Pheromone-Kairomone Combination Lure

Insects, 2020
Monitoring oriental fruit moth Grapholita molesta Busck (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), populations based on counts in sex pheromone-baited traps within sex pheromone-treated orchards for mating disruption (MD) is challenging since male orientation to traps ...

Host phenology-driven infestation patterns of the carob moth (Ectomyelois ceratoniae) in Mediterranean walnut orchards: insights from comparison with codling moth (Cydia pomonella). [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
In Mediterranean walnut orchards, Ectomyelois ceratoniae replaces Cydia pomonella as the primary pest. Capture peaks between packing tissue brown (PTB) stage and husk dehiscence define a critical window for monitoring and early harvest to prevent kernel infestation.

Female-induced increase of host-plant volatiles enhance specific attraction of aphid male Dysaphis plantaginea (Homoptera: Aphididae) to the sex pheromone

, 2009
All aphid species studied so far share the same sex pheromone components, nepetalactol and nepetalactone. Variation by different enantiomers and blends of the two components released by different aphid species are limited and can only partially explain ...

"Fool me once, but rarely fool me twice": recapture rates and the effect of lure-ageing in pheromone traps for the burnet moth Zygaena filipendulae

, 2018
Pheromone lures are a powerful tool in monitoring and recording moths. An important part of accurately interpreting the data obtained is determining the recapture rate of pheromone traps and the longevity of pheromone lures.

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.

Release of multicomponent pheromones from porous fibres

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Surface engineering empowers a polymer exclusion net to serve dual functions: physical exclusion and pheromonal release, allowing for pest control in agricultural crops. In previous work, a net woven from porous fibres releasing simple, single‐component alarm pheromones showed promising results in field tests.
