Abstract
Abstract A mixture of cis-9-tetradecenyl acetate and cis-11-tetradecenyl acetate can be employed as a powerful attractant for instance in traps to detect or control infestations of the summerfruit Tortrix moth Adoxophyes orana or to confuse the male insect of this species in its search for the female, thereby preventing or diminishing its reproduction.
