The behavioral responses of Lobesia botrana males to calling females, pheromone gland extracts, and synthetic sex pheromones were recorded in a wind tunnel. Gland extracts and synthetic pheromones were released from a pheromone evaporator. The numbers of males reaching the source and their flight tracks in response to calling females and pheromone gland extracts were compared to those of synthetic blends. Upwind flights to natural sex pheromone were straighter and faster than to a three-component blend of (E)-7,(Z)-9-dodecadienyl acetate (E7,Z9-12:Ac), (E)-7,(Z)-9-dodecadien-1-ol (E7,Z9-12:OH), and (Z)-9-docecenyl acetate (Z9-12:Ac)(l00:20:5). The optimum ratio of E7,Z9-12:OH and Z9-12:Ac to E7,Z9-12:Ac was found to be 5% and 1%, respectively. An additional seven compounds identified in the sex pheromone gland were investigated for their biological activity. Two unsaturated acetates, i.e., (E)-9-dodecenyl acetate (E9-12:Ac) and delta11-dodecenyl acetate (delta11-12:AC), increased the number of males reaching the source as well as straightness, linear velocity, and decreased the track angle of upwind flight. Optimum response was obtained by releasing 10 pg/min E7,Z9-12:Ac in a mixture with 0.5 pg/min E7,Z9-12:OH, 0.1 pg/min Z9-12:Ac, 0.1 pg/min E9- 12:Ac and 1 pg/min delta11-12-Ac. The saturated acetates previously identified in the female glands were biologically inactive.
