(Z-E)-7,11-hexadecadien-1-ol acetate: The sex pheromone of the angoumois grain moth,Sitotroga cerealella

Der Sexuallockstoff der Angoumois Getreidemotte,Sifotvoga cevealella (Olivier), wurde als (Z, E)-7, 11-Hexadecadien-1-ol Acetat identifiziert. Die synthetisierte Verbindung ist chromatographisch, spektroskopisch, und verhaltensmässig identisch mit dem von den Weibchen produzierten Sexuallockstoff.

Recent Developments in the Use of Pheromones to Monitor Plodia Interpunctella and Ephestia Cautella

Stored commodities are particularly susceptible to insect infestation, in part, because food is rarely limited in storage facilities, and temperature and climatic conditions tend to be ideal for insect development. Furthermore, the handling involved in milling, processing, and transporting greatly increases the possibility of introducing insect pests into the commodity. These factors plus the very stringent requirements for absence of insects in processed commodities make sensitive insect monitoring tools necessary. Numerous entomologists have suggested that traps baited with sex pheromones may be ideally suited to this use.
