“…As an exception, the epoxy pheromone of L. dispar (disparlure) has been widely applied in forests in the USA. While disruptants, including Type II pheromones, have not been commercially available, an interesting disruption by an epoxyalkenyl pheromone was reported for A. s. cretacea [186]. Mating of the tethered females is completely inhibited in a field permeated with a mixture of the epoxydienes derived from Z3,Z6,Z9-19:H, although the female moths produce only one epoxydiene (epo3,Z6,Z9-19:H).…”

As a consequence of the diversity of Lepidoptera, including 150,000 described species, interesting species-specific sex pheromone systems are exhibited in this insect group. The quite varied pheromones, which have been identified from female moths of nearly 530 species from around the world, are classified into groups of Type I (75%), Type II (15%), and miscellaneous (10%), according to their chemical structures. Additionally, many pheromones produced by male moths and butterflies have been known. While new sex pheromones from about 70 lepidopteran species have been reported in the last five years utilizing GC-EAD, GC-MS, LC, and NMR, our information about the pheromones is still rudimentary, and these kinds of semiochemicals remain an exciting research target for natural product chemistry. In addition to the overview of their chemical structures, this chapter deals with current methods for their identification. Furthermore, an actual application of the synthetic pheromones for pest control is briefly introduced.

“…These species probably use additional compounds in their sexual communication systems because studies on other geometrids have revealed that long-chain hydrocarbons and epoxides (known as type II pheromone compounds) are commonly used in blends as sex pheromones (Ando et al 2004). 3Z,6Z,9Z-19:H has been reported as a sex pheromone component or attractant for more than 40 species, including the mottled umber, Erannis defoliaria (Clerck) (Sz} ocs et al 1993), the autumn gum moth, Mnesampela privata (Guen ee) (Steinbauer et al 2004), the fall cankerworm moth, Alsophila pometaria (Harris) (Wong et al 1984) and the Japanese giant looper, Ascotis selenaria cretacea Butler (Witjaksono Ohtani et al 1999), for which the pheromone identifications were rigorously supported by electrophysiological and chemical analyses of the female-produced compounds. Racemic 3Z,6Z-cis-9,10-epoxy-19:H or the corresponding enantiomers have been reported as a sex attractant or sex pheromone component for nine species (summarized in El-Sayed 2014).…”

The sex pheromone of the cloaked pug moth, Eupithecia abietaria G€ otze, an important cone-feeding pest in spruce seed orchards in Europe, was investigated. Chemical and electrophysiological analyses of pheromone gland extracts of female moths and analogous analyses of synthetic hydrocarbons and epoxides of chain length C 19 and C 21 revealed (3Z,6Z,9Z)-3,6,9-nonadecatriene (3Z,6Z,9Z-19:H) and 3Z,6Z-cis-9,10-epoxynonadecadiene (3Z,6Z-cis-9,10-epoxy-19:H) as candidate pheromone components, which were found in a gland extract in a ratio of 95 : 5. In field trapping experiments, conspecific males were only attracted to a combination of 3Z,6Z,9Z-19:H and the (9S,10R)-enantiomer of 3Z,6Z-cis-9,10-epoxy-19:H. The (9R,10S)-enantiomer was not attractive, which is in agreement with studies on other Eupithecia species, for which males have only been attracted by the (9S,10R)-enantiomer of epoxides. Subsequent experiments showed that E. abietaria males were attracted to a wide range of ratios of the two active compounds and that trap catches increased with increasing dose of the binary blend. A twocomponent bait containing 300 lg 3Z,6Z,9Z-19:H and 33 lg of the (9S,10R)-enantiomer of 3Z,6Z-cis-9,10-epoxy-19:H was efficient for monitoring E. abietaria in spruce seed orchards in southern Sweden, where this species has probably been overlooked as an important pest in the past. With sex pheromones recently identified for two other moths that are major pests on spruce cones, the spruce seed moth, Cydia strobilella L., and the spruce coneworm, Dioryctria abietella Denis & Schifferm€ uller, pheromone-based monitoring can now be achieved for the whole guild of conefeeding moths in European spruce seed orchards.

“…Larger disruption trials (25 ha) using 100 g ha -1 of the fourpheromone blend showed a reduction of 48% with a solid sprayable formulation, and 86% with a liquid formulation with respect to an insecticide-treated plot (Frérot et al, 1997). Some work has been done on pest control using antagonists of pheromone action, for example, on the navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) (Curtis et al, 1987), the pea moth, Cydia nigricana Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) (Bengtsson et al, 1994), the oblique-banded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana Harris (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) (Evenden et al, 1999), the Japanese giant looper, Ascotis selenaria cretacea Butler (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) (Ohtani et al, 2001), the light-brown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana Walker (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) (Suckling et al, 1994), and the red bollworm, Diparopsis castanea Hmps. Regarding the European corn borer, the sex pheromone was also effectively used to significantly suppress female matings when released from two different dispenser types and in two deployment patterns (Baker, 1999).…”

Large-scale field experiments on the Mediterranean corn borer, Sesamia nonagrioides Lefèbvre (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), were carried out in 2004 -2006 on maize [ Zea mays L. (Poaceae)] fields using ( Z )-11-hexadecenyl trifluoromethyl ketone, an antagonist analog of the pheromone of this species, to evaluate a possible reduction of damage caused by this pest. The effect of the treatments on the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), a sympatric species, was also determined. Evaluation of the success of the experiments was assessed by counting (i) the number of males caught by pheromone traps in treated and untreated fields, (ii) the number of plants attacked by both insects in both plots, and (iii) the number of larvae present in infested plants in both fields. Effectiveness of the treatment was high for the second generation of the Mediterranean corn borer, the most harmful to the crop (86 -90% reduction in the number of plants attacked and 67 -98% reduction in the number of larvae per plant in treated fields in comparison to untreated fields), and moderate for the third generation (reduction of 41-71% and 33 -77%, respectively). Treatments were also effective for the second generation of the European corn borer (61 -75% reduction in the number of plants attacked, 58 -78% reduction in the number of larvae found per plant) as well as for the third generation (69 -97% and 70 -98% reduction, respectively). By plotting the amount of the antagonist remaining on the dispensers after 40 -45 days of exposure with time, the mean release rate of the compound was calculated to be 2.2%/day in 2004, 1.95%/day in 2005, and 2.1%/day in 2006, with 26% of the initial compound remaining after 20 days of experimentation. The emission rate appears to cover the flight of the most damaging second generation of both insects. Prospects of using trifluoromethyl ketones as new potential agents for pest control are also outlined.
