Abstract
Electrophysiological techniques and behavioural assays were used to de termine the response of males of Globodera rostochiensis to 4 fraction s of the homospecific sex pheromone from virgin females, separated usi ng reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. Sex pheromone ac tivity was confined to 2 of the fractions. The sex pheromone of G. ros tochiensis appears to be composed of several weakly basic, polar compo unds.
