Abstract
Compositions and methods are provided for attracting and subsequently trapping and/or killing crop pests from the Euschistus species. Alkyl esters of (2E,4Z)-decadienoic acid as a chemical attractant pheromone and, in combination with a trap or toxicant, provide an efficient means for controlling these insects.
