Abstract

Male olive fruit fly attraction to the four synthetic components of the female sex attractant pheromone was studied under laboratory and field conditions. In laboratory tests males responded to all four components tested separately. Component I, (1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane) was more attractive than any of the remaining three components alone, but a combination of all four was more attractive than component I alone. In field tests with polyethylene vials as pheromone dispensers, the complete mixture, although not statistically significant, was constantly more attractive to males than component I alone. A tendency of enhancement of attraction of component I by combining it with component II (α-pinene) or III (n-nonanal) was also observed. In field tests with rubber septa as pheromone dispensers only component I was attractive. Mixtures containing component I were also attractive but not more attractive than component I alone. Evaporation rate and ratio of components as they come out of the dispenser appear to be critical for male response.
