Abstract
A sex attractant for Atethmia ambusta, a pest on apple and peach trees , was established in field tests. The blends of 1000 mu g of Z7-14Ac a nd admixtures of 10, 100 and 1000 mu g of Z5-14Ac respectively were al most equally attractive to the males of this species. Z7-12Ac and Z11- 14Ac were found to be strong inhibitors of A. ambusta sex attractant.
