The invention disclosed relates to a novel composition and use thereof, for the attraction and detection of emerald ash borer,
Agrilus planipennis
Fairmaire. The composition comprises (3Z)-dodecen-12-olide and ash foliar or cortical volatiles (green leaf volatiles) associated with a prism trap of a color in the green range of the visible light spectrum. A significant increase in the capture of male
A. planipennis
is achieved when traps were deployed in the upper tree canopy. This invention is the first demonstration of increased attraction with a combination of a pheromone and a green leaf volatile in a Buprestid species.
本发明涉及一种新型组合物及其用途,用于吸引和检测翠绿
金龟虫(Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire)。该组合物包括(3Z)-十二碳烯酮和与棱柱陷阱相关的灰树叶或皮层挥发物(绿叶挥发物),其颜色在可见光谱的绿色范围内。当陷阱部署在树冠上部时,能够显著增加对雄性A. planipennis的捕获。本发明是首次在Buprestid物种中展示了通过信息素和绿叶挥发物组合增加吸引力的情况。
