Pome fruit pests

Alanycarb is a stomach poison and contact insecticide used as a foliar spray, soil treatment, or seed treatment for control of coleopterous, hemipterous, lepidopterous, and thy-sanopterous pests in corn, cotton, peanuts, vines, pome fruits, soybeans, sorghum, tea, sugar beet, vegetables, turf, and ornamentals. Its oral LD30 in rats is 440 mg/kg. 

Many sesquiterpenoid plant-derived kairomones have been reported (Hedin et al, 1974 Kelsey et al., 1984). In addition to monoterpenes, many sesquiterpenes that are not highly oxygenated also are found in essential oils. Several are known to possess kairomonal activity. (-f )-a-Copaene (58), from orange fruits, is an attractant for the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Teranishi et al., 1987). a-Famesene (59), from the skin of several varieties of apple and pear fruits, attracts newly hatched larvae of the codling moth, Laspeyresia pomonella, a serious pest of pome fruits (Jacobson, 1982 Sutherland et al., 1977).
