Abstract
The racemate of 1-methylbutyldecanoate is synthesized and found to be a powerful attractant under field conditions for male bagworm moths. It is also found to suppress or inhibit completely the mating of female bagworm moths when applied to trees and shrubs in an effective mating suppressant or inhibiting amount.
