What is it about?

Traps baited with a binary mixture in the ratio of 30:10 of two EAG-active compounds, (Z,Z,E)-7,11,13-hexadecatrienal and (Z,Z)-7,11-hexadecadienal, attracted significantly more moths of the leafmining moth P. citrella compared with unbaited traps in a Florida citrus grove. The addition of a third EAG-active compound, (Z)-7-hexadecenal, did not increase trap catch. Trap height, at 0.7, 1.3, and 2 m did not significantly affect daily trap catch on 5 of 6 d.
