The present invention relates to a sex
pheromone composition of orthaga olivacea warre, and a lure core thereof. The sex
pheromone composition is characterized in that the sex
pheromone composition comprises cis-11-hexadecenyl acetate,
trace amounts of cis-11-hexadecenoic
enolase and cis-11-hexadecenal. Antioxidants between 1% to 10% of the total component by
mass and anti-
ultraviolet stabilizers between 1% to 10% of the total component by
mass are added into the prepared composition. A releaser can be prepared froma chlorobutyl rubber or a PVC capillary tube. The present invention firstly discovers and identifies that lures of the sex pheromone of orthaga olivacea warre are cis-11-hexadecenyl acetate,
trace amounts of cis-11-hexadecenoic
enolase and cis-11-hexadecenal, and concludes that each lure core has luring effects on male orthaga olivacea warreat at a dosage of 10 to 4000 micrograms, and the optimal dosage of each lure core is 1000 micrograms. According to the present invention, the sex pheromone composition of orthaga olivacea warre combined with a
trapping device can effectively booby a large number of male orthaga olivacea warre, and can be applied to monitoring, prevention and controling of orthaga olivacea warre populations. The sex pheromone composition plays an important role in orthaga olivacea warre
trapping and forecasting.
