Abstract
A pheromonal compound produced by the banded cucumber beetle has been identified as 6,12-dimethylpentadecan-2-one. Both the synthetically prepared racemic compound and the purified natural pheromone elicited responses by banded cucumber males in field tests. By attracting adult beetles to field traps, this compound is a useful tool for the monitoring and controlling of this major agricultural pest.
