Field tests of floral chemicals dispensed in two-component lures were used to capture noctuid and pyralid moths in north-central Florida. Blends of phenylacetaldehyde plus Β-myrcene, cis jasmone, linalool and methyl-2-methoxy benzoate were successful in capturing large numbers of several moth species.


Species 1: Lepidoptera Noctuidae Pseudoplusia includens (soybean looper)
Species 2: Lepidoptera Noctuidae Anticarsia gemmatalis (velvetbean caterpillar)
Species 3: Lepidoptera Pyralidae Diaphania hyalinata (melonworm)
