Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment and Rearing of Anarsia lineatella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) on a Meridic Diet
TL;DR: An improved method for rearing peach twig borer, Anarsia lineatella Zeller, on a lima bean-based diet is described, with greater success and with less effort than had been reported previously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive Biology of Pseudococcus maritimus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae)
TL;DR: Experiments with caged adults confirmed that females from this population of the grape mealybug could not reproduce parthenogenetically, and exposure to pheromone did stimulate males to emerge slightly sooner than control males, but pherOMone exposure had no effect on the longevity of males.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereospecific synthesis of the sex pheromone of the passionvine mealybug, Planococcus minor
TL;DR: In this paper, a short and completely stereospecific synthesis of (E )-2-isopropyl-5-methyl-2,4-hexadienyl acetate, the very recently identified sex pheromone of the passionvine mealybug Planococcus minor, is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: During field bioassays in Kenya of 10 chemicals that are common pheromone components of cerambycid beetles, six species in the subfamily Ceram bycinae were significantly attracted to 3-hydroxyhexan-2-one, and one species inThe subfamily Lamiinae was significant attracted to 2-(undecyloxy)ethanol (known as monochamol).
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and Field Evaluation of the Sex Pheromone of Stenoma catenifer (Lepidoptera: Elachistidae)
TL;DR: The sex pheromone of an important and potentially invasive pest of avocados, Persea americana Miller (Lauraceae), Stenoma catenifer Walsingham (Lepidoptera: Elachistidae), will be useful for detection of S.Catenifer, particularly in areas where there is a risk of the moth invading and establishing due to increased commerce in fresh avocado orchards.
