Sex Attractants for Male Lepidoptera
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1977 About one hundred of unsaturated long straight chain compounds (C10-C18) containing a terminal hydroxyl or acetoxyl group were synthesized and their attractiveness to male Lepidoptera were tested in various environments.
