Possibilities to monitoring-control of the horse-chestnut leafminer [Cameraria ohridella] with some acetal derivatives of [8E,10Z]-tetradeca-8,10-dienal

This paper shows possibility of utilization ether derivatives of (8E,10Z)-tetradeca-8,10-dienal [2-((7E,9Z)-trideca-7,9-dienyl)-1,3-dioxan (2) and 2-((7E,9Z)-trideca-7,9-dienyl)-4-hydroxy-6-heptyl-5-hexyl-1,3-dioxan (3)] as potential lures for monitoring of horse-chestnut leafminer population. The both propheromones were synthesized at the Institute of Industrial Organic Chemistry (IPO) and then tested in 2006/07 on field trials at several different sites on terrain of Mazovian province. Within the scope of these investigations, acetal 2 was checked at different doses (10, 100, 500 μg) by the pheromone trapping technique, and aldoxane 3 was used both in pheromone trapping (at the dose 50 μg) and mating disruption technique. The good attractiveness properties were obtained for both tested compounds. However, the dose of 2-((7E,9Z)-trideca-7,9-dienyl)-1,3-dioxan had to be a 10 times higher than dose of aldoxane for the same good activity.
