Abstract
The 2-(2,14-Dimethyl-pentadecanoylamin)-pentanedioic acid (I) and compounds of the formula (II), wherein the substituents have the meaning disclosed in the specification, are used as oviposition deterring pheromones against the following fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) of economical importance: Anastrepha fraterculus (south America fruit fly), A. grandis, A. ludens (Mexican fruit fly), A. obliqua (mango fly), A. serpentina (sapodilla fly), A. striata (guayabi fly) and A. suspensa (Caribbean fruit fly). The above-mentioned substances, if conveniently formulated, can be used to reduce the damage caused by these insects to fruits which are cultivated in commercial and semi-commercial orchards, in garden orchards and in isolated trees in residential gardens.
