Abstract
The invention relates to a composite insect attractant for male cabbage moths (Mamestra brassicae) containing (Z)-11-hexadecenyl acetate and (Z)-11-heptadecenyl acetate as active agents in a weight ratio of 70 to 90:80 to 1, optionally along with a liquid or solid adjuvant. An insect trap can contain the composition which is used for attracting and trapping cabbage moth. Their mating is disrupted by air permeation techniques. (Z)-11-heptadecenyl acetate is a synergistically active new compound. The composition according to the invention produces a significantly stronger stimulating reaction on male cabbage moths than the known sex lure compositions.
