Leds and semiochemicals vs. sex pheromones: tests of the european corn borer attractivity in the Krasnodar territory

“…Recently, it has been found that the addition of 4-methoxy-2-phenethyl alcohol, also isolated from maize, to this compound increases the catchability of traps by a factor of 3-5 (Tóth et al, 2016). Tests conducted in five European countries of this semiochemical combination under the commercial name 'bisex lure' has confirmed this conclusion (Tóth et al, 2017). The results of our 2019 pilot tests of traps baited with 'bisex lure' also indicate that the combination of these semiochemicals is highly effective for monitoring ECB both in the Krasnodar Territory and Voronezh Region .…”

Evaluation of the effectiveness of the European corn borer monitoring using bisexual lure based on tests results in the Kuban and the Central Black Earth Zone of Russia

“…Таким образом, полученные в 2019 г. результаты подтверждают вывод [7] о перспективности семиохемиков для мониторинга кукурузного мотылька, особенно в северных очагах его вредоносности, где ловушки с половыми феромонами не обеспечивают надежного мониторинга вредителя. № 19-016-00128).…”

“…Исследования, выполненные в Институте защиты растений (Будапешт, Венгрия), выявили высокую аттрактивность двух летучих семиохемиков кукурузыфенилацетальдегида и 4-метокси-2-фенэтилового спирта для имаго вредителя [6], которая была подтверждена полевыми испытаниями, проведенными в ряде европейских стран [7].…”

Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e72305. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.9.e72305

“…Since 2013 in the Hajdúság, 16 studies have been carried out during development of bisexual lure, targeting mainly the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) (Tóth et al 2016, the silver Y moth (Autographa gamma) ) and the cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) . Here, we discuss the non-target Lepidoptera catches of these field studies to provide a checklist of the Macroheterocera fauna and to draw attention to the need for further intensive investigations of the region.…”
