摘要
Sugarcane tip borer, Scirpophaga excerpalis Walker, is one of the destructive pests in sugarcane fields. It is distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi and Taiwan provinces of China, and also in Southeast Asia and South Asia. Attractant activities of the crude extract of abdominal tips of the female moth have been studied by REN Da-fang, one of the authors (unpublished data). It has shown that the extract after liquid chromatographic separation revealed attractant activities in field tests. This note describes the chemical structure and field tests of the sex pheromone of this species.
