Effect of combining methyl eugenol and cue-lure on the capture of male tephritid fruit flies

Effect of combining methyl eugenol and cue-lure on the capture of male tephritid fruit flies. Hooper, G. H. S. (Dep. Entomol., Univ. Queensland, St. Lucia, Aust.). J. Aust. Entomol. Soc., 17(2), 189-90 (English) 1978. CODEN: AESJBC. ISSN: 0004-9050. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 5 (Agrochemicals) Captures of males of species responding to Me eugenol [93-15-2] and cue-lure [3572-06-3] were significantly reduced when both attractants were combined in a single trap as compared with the captures obtained in traps contg. either of the attractants alone. When traps contg. Me eugenol and cuelure were placed side by side the no. of flies responding to Me eugenol was reduced, and the no. of flies responding to cue-lure was increased as compared with captures in single isolated traps.

DOCUMENT TYPE: Patent CA Section: 5 (Agrochemical Bioregulators) Compns. contg.Several reagents with their cas registry numbers 3572-06-3 and 122-14-5 are used here. fruit fly attractants and insecticides are microencapsulated with a film-forming compn. contg. mainly gelatin. The microcapsules are suspended in water contg. high-mol.-wt. binder emulsion or water-sol. polymers. The product is suitable for aerial application because of its low drift characteristics. Thus, a compn. contg. sumithion [122-14-5] and methyleugenol [93-15-2] () was microencapsulated by a conventional method (50 mm). The particles (7.5%) were suspended in an emulsion contg. vinyl acetate emulsion (40% solids) 1.5, Na polyacrylate 1, and water 90%. The formulation attracted and killed citrus fruit flies. .
