Notes:
Lures containing different doses of (E)-10-dodecen-l-yl acetate (E 10–12: Ac), a sex atfractant for the pea moth, Cydia nigricana (F.), were evaluated for use in monitoring traps at sites in eastern England in 1977 and 1979.A natural-rubber serum stopper impregnated with 3 mg E10–12: Ac was shown to be an effective and long-lasting lure; it was equally effective at different population densities and remained constantly attractive for at least the whole flight season of the male moth. Such lures, which are being used by growers in the United Kingdom to monitor moth populations in dried pea crops, do not need to be renewed during the season nor allowances made for reduced attractiveness.
