Sex Pheromone of the Peach Twig Borer Moth (Anarsia lineatella)12

Abstract
Female abdominal tip extracts of peach twig borer moths, Anarsia lineatella Zeller, from Washington and California were analyzed and found to contain trans-5-decenyl acetate as a pheromone component. There was also evidence for the presence of ca. 15% of the corresponding alcohol. These synthetic compounds proved to be very attractive to peach twig borer males in field studies in both states through a range of ratios.
