Planococcus ficus

Two pheromonal components were detected in airborne collections from the vine mealybug, Planococcus ficus Signoret (Hemiptera Pseudococci dae) in Israel. They were identified as (5 )-lavandulyl senecioate (1) and (5)-lavandulyl isovalerate (II). Compound I has been identified as the sex pheromone of P. ficus in California. The report shows that feral P. ficus mealybugs produce and respond only to (I) whereas mealybugs reared in the laboratory on potato sprouts produce and respond to both (I) and (II). [Pg.293]

Abstract— The sex pheromone of the vine mealybug Planococcus ficus has been identified as a single component, (5)-lavandulyl senecioate 2a. Males were equally attracted to either (S)-2a or racemic 2a, indicating that the unnatural enantiomer does not inhibit male behavioral responses. [Pg.11]
