Abstract

Conrel hollow polymeric fibers with emission rates of 9 μg and 36 μg of (E,E)-3,5-tetradecadienyl acetate (EE-TDDA) per day attracted significantly more male A. centerensis (Lintner) than did rubber septum or cotton wick dispensers baited with 500 μg of EE-TDDA. Although the number of males attracted increased with the emission rate, Conrel dispensers emitting 54 μg EE-TDDA/day were not significantly more effective than those with an emission rate of 9 μg/day. Catch increased linearly with trap height. The flight of A. centerensis, which lasted 60 to 80 days, peaked twice.
