(E,Z)-2,13-Octadecadienyl acetate
EP00085
| Latin Name | Zeuzera pyrina |
| Common Name | Leopard moth |
| Biology | Adults are diurnal and lay eggs within the cortex of new shoots; the tender shoots above the oviposition site gradually wilt and droop. Larvae hatch and bore into the pith of branches, mining downward, making infested branches prone to fracture. This species completes one generation annually, overwintering as mature larvae within damaged branches. |
| Damage | Primary hosts include apple, pear, peach, coffee, olive, and poplar. |
| Distribution Regions | Europe and Central Asia |
| Monitoring | Pheromone lures mimic natural sex pheromones to attract male insects into specialized traps for population monitoring and suppression. As a core IPM component, monitoring enables early risk detection and targeted control. Mass trapping reduces mating opportunities to curb offspring populations. Protocols: ●Use only with matched traps. ●15-45 traps/hectare,replace/replenish every 4-6 weeks. ●Wear gloves or wash hands with detergent when switching lure types. ●Refer to trap-specific hanging instructions. |
| Recommended Traps | Blue sticky trap |
Literature review
The cited publications support the exact compound-species relationship. Formulation, ratio, loading, release rate and field lifetime depend on a validated lure protocol and are not inferred here.
