The effect of the pheromone concentration on mating disruption of the olive moth Prays oleae was studied in small olive groves. The major pheromone component (Z)-7-hexadecenal formulated in â-cyclodextrin was dispensed at the following doses per hectare: 5, 10, 20 and 40g/ha. Male inhibition and fruit damage were evaluated by recording the number of males caught in traps baited with 1 mg of pheromone and the number of fruits found to be infested. Results indicated that male inhibition and fruit damage depended on the amount of pheromone dispensed
