Field testing of cis-11-tetradecenal as attractant or synergist in Tortricinae.

Field studies have shown that cis-11-tetradecenal is an effective attractant for male Choristoneura conflictana, a pest of aspen. These studies also indicate that cis-11-tetradecenal is probably a secondary component in the sex pheromone systems of Choristoneura rosaceana and Choristoneura fumiferana.
