Abstract
The effect of pheromones of
Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins on the attraction of
Ips pini (Say) to its pheromone, ipsdienol, was investigated in stands of lodgepole pine. The mixture of
cis- and
trans-verbenol significantly reduced catches of
I. pini in traps baited with ipsdienol at three locations in British Columbia.
exo-Brevicomin had no effect on catches of
I. pini, irrespective of the enantiomeric composition of
exo-brevicomin. Ipsdienol did not significantly reduce the attraction of
D. ponderosae to traps baited with
cis- and
trans-verbenol, and (±)-
exo-brevicomin.
