Abstract:

The sex attractant for yellow tortrix, Acleris fimbriana Meyrick,(E)-11,13-tetradecadienal(E11,13-14:Ald),was synthesized via Wittig reaction from two readily available starting materials. Field trials were undertaken in Beijing during May-October, 2000. The tests showed that E11,13-14:Ald gave strong attractive activity to the male yellow tortrix . The optimum dose of E11,13-14:Ald to catch male yellow tortrix was 1.0mg. Single E11,13-14:Ac was not attractive to the male moths, but it could highly enhance the attractive effect when it was added to E11,13-14:Ald. On the other hand, E11,13-14:OH, E11-14:OH and E11-14:Ald inhibited the attractive effect when they were added to E11,13-14:Ald respectively.

Key words: Acleris fimbriana Meyrick, Sex attractant, E11, 13-14:Ald, Synthesis, Attractivity, Field test
