Identification of sex pheromone components of the Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor.
Coupled gas chromatographic (GC)–electroantennographic detection (EAD) analyses of ovipositor extract of calling Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor, females revealed that seven compounds elicited responses from male antennae. Four of the compounds—(2S)-tridec-2-yl acetate, (2S,10Z)-10-tridecen-2-yl acetate, (2S,10E)-10- tridecen-2-yl acetate, and (2S,10E)-10-tridecen-2-ol—were identified previously
