Abstract
A method and composition for the ovipositional disruption of the navel orangeworm by releasing into the air, in the area where the navel orangeworms are to be disrupted, an effective amount of a fatty acid mixture containing oleic acid and at least one other fatty acid having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms. The fatty acid mixture is preferably applied by combining at with a carrier, such as water, in the form of an emulsion which desirably contains one or more of a surfactant, a chemical slow release agent, a physical slow release agent, a UV inhibitor, or an antioxidant.
