Sustained Release Pheromone Preparation of Vine Mealybug and Control Method Using the Preparation

摘要

Provided are a sustained release pheromone preparation capable of maintaining a high amount of pheromone release throughout a control period of vine mealybug (VMB) having lavandulyl senecioate (LVSN) as a pheromone substance; and a control method with the preparation. More specifically, provided are a sustained release pheromone preparation comprising a first pheromone substance, and a first container having the first pheromone substance sealed therein and comprising a first polymer membrane made of an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer containing vinyl acetate units of from 0.5 to 10% by weight, wherein the first pheromone substance is lavandulyl senecioate, which is a pheromone substance of vine mealybug, and the lavandulyl senecioate can be released into the air through the first polymer membrane for 150 days or more; and others.
