Persistent attractants for the Mediteranean Fruit Fly, the method of preparation and method of use
1988
McGovern, T.P. | Cunningham, R.T.
Novel lower alkyl esters of iodo-trans-2methylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid are useful to attract the Mediterranean Fuit Fly, "Medfly," for prolonged periods of time. The esters are competitive in attraction with the current "standard" attractant, Trimedlure, but are much more persistent. The esters may be economically produced and possess the dual properties required for effective use in Medfly control programs.
