J. Aumann et al., GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHIC CHARACTERIZATION OF THE FEMALE SEX-PHEROMONE OF HETERODERA-SCHACHTII (NEMATODA, HETERODERIDAE), Fundamental and applied nematology, 21(2), 1998, pp. 119-122
Is shown that the volatile components of the sex pheromone from Hetero
dera schachtii females can be analysed directly by gas chromatography,
which eliminates the need for derivatisation procedures. The pheromon
e was separated into two components, each with a different polarity. I
t may contain other, non-volatile components that could not be analyse
d directly by gas chromatography. (C) Elsevier - ORSTOM.
