Ramachandran, R. and Norris, D. M. (1991). Volatiles mediating plant-herbivore-natural enemy interactions electroantennogram responses of soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens, and a parasitoid, Microplitis demolitor, to green leaf volatiles. Journal of Chemical Ecology 17 1665-1690. 

The utility of this new procedure has been demonstrated by the synthesis of mus-calure, the sex pheromone of the house fly Musca domestica) (Eq. 68)I22) and dis-parlure, the sex pheromone of the Gypsy moth (Porthetria dispar L.)123), and the sex attractant of soybean loopers (Pseudoplusia includens)124>. 

Mitchell (597) has discussed the feasibility of using multicomponent formulations for control of several important pests of field crops. Hendricks et al. (600) showed that a mixture of looplure (622) and virelure (623, 624) were compatible and caught the cabbage looper (T. ni), the soybean looper (Pseudoplusia includens), and the tobacco budworm (H. virescens) on the same traps. It seems likely that pesticide applications to field crops could be greatly reduced by means of pheromone-baited monitoring traps, and such efforts will undoubtedly become a part of the integrated pest management projects now established by the Extension Service of the USDA.
