Figure 7 summarizes data on the release of the peachtree borer pheromone, (Z Z)-3,13-octadecadien-l-ol acetate, ODDA), from a Hereon flake over a 70-day period. Figure 8 presents similar data for release of gossyplure (1 1 (Z,E)- and (Z, Z)-7, 11-hexadecadien-l-ol acetate), the pink bollworm pheromone sex attractant, from Hereon flake over a 3-week period. Emission of pheromone is reasonably uniform in both instances.

Another company (624, 625) supplies a controlled release dispenser, which is a three-layer plastic laminated sheet consisting of a bottom protective layer, a middle pheromone reservoir layer, and a top permeable layer through which the pheromone diffuses. The sheet can be cut into ribbons and applied over an area. Formulations have been field tested on a number of insect pests gypsy moth, pink bollworm, peachtree borer, lesser peach tree borer, soybean looper, cabbage looper, European elm bark beetle, tobacco budworm, fall armyworm, tussock moth, eastern spruce budworm, and Mediterranean fruit fly. 

Data on the attractiveness of pheromone blends and of isomer blends in field trials have been presented for the male peachtree borer 655) and the carpenterworm (656) respectively.
