Insect attractant and oviposition enhancing activity of hexadecanoic acid ester derivatives for monitoring and trapping Caryedon serratus

This paper describes behavioural changes elicited in Caryedon serratus by some synthesized hexadecanoic acid ester derivatives, which can be effectively used for monitoring pest populations thereby reducing the risk of pests becoming established in stores. Six hexadecanoic acid ester derivatives wer...

Description
Summary:This paper describes behavioural changes elicited in Caryedon serratus by some synthesized hexadecanoic acid ester derivatives, which can be effectively used for monitoring pest populations thereby reducing the risk of pests becoming established in stores. Six hexadecanoic acid ester derivatives were synthesized. Choice and no-choice experiments with different concentrations (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mg l−1) of derivatives against C. serratus revealed significant (p
