In a joint effort with Markus P. Rantala1 to formulate a new attractant for Polia species, interestingly one of the pheromone mixtures was found to attract large numbers of Syngrapha parilis and another large numbers of Sympistis lapponica.
The chemical name for the title compound is (Z)-11-octadecenyl acetate, however, it is better known by its common name cis-vaccenyl acetate. cis-Vaccenyl acetate is a volatile chemical compound that acts as a pheromone in Drosophila and at least one species of longhorn beetle.
Chemists of Pherobank have recently synthesised the pheromones for two Euproctis moth species, namely Euproctis chrysorrhoea and Euproctis pseudoconspersa.
After the unusual acyclic C11 homoterpene (E)-DMNT, Pherobank has synthesised the C16 homosesquiterpene (E)-TMTT {(E,E)-4,8,12-trimethyl-1,3,7,11-tridecatetraene} as well.
We produce our pheromone dispensers using a robotic filling station and can wrap your product in sachets or blister-packs imprinted with your text and logo. Only possible for 50 or more lure per species.
Pherobank also develops, produces, and formulates top-quality pheromone products. In addition, custom-made lures can be produced based on the client’s specifications.
