M. Toth et al., 2(E)-NONEN-1-OL - MALE ATTRACTANT FOR CHAFERS ANOMALA-VITIS FABR AND A-DUBIA SCOP (COLEOPTERA, SCARABAEIDAE), Journal of chemical ecology, 20(10), 1994, pp. 2481-2487
Traps baited with 2-(E)-nonen-1-ol alone or in combination with other
compounds caught large numbers of males of both the vine chafer, Anoma
la vitis Fabr. and the margined vine chafer, A. dubia Scop. (Coleopter
a: Scarabaeidae), vineyard and orchard pests. In a dosage test, the la
rgest numbers were caught by traps baited with 10 mg of 2-(E)-nonen-1-
ol, which was the highest dosage tested. This is the first report on m
ale attractants for chafer species occurring in Europe.
