In this study, we aimed to develop a “”bisexual”” lure to attract both female and male moths. Based on a previous screening bioassay we tested Me salicylate, phenylacetaldehyde and eugenol as potential attractants in different combinations. The trapping results showed that both binary and ternary blends attracted male and female moths. Catches with these blends were comparable to catches with the synthetic pheromone. Subsequently we carried out single sensillum recordings, which proved the peripheral detection of the above-mentioned compounds on male and female antennae. To identify synergistic flower volatiles, which can be also attractive and can increase the trap capture, we collected flower headspace volatiles from 12 different flowering plant species. Several components of the floral scents evoked good responses from antennae of both females and males in gas chromatog.-electroantennog. detection. The most active components were tentatively identified by gas chromatog. coupled mass spectrometry as benzaldehyde, cis-ss-ocimene, (±)-linalool and phenethyl alc. These selected compounds in combination did not increase significantly the trap capture compared to the Me salicylate- phenyacetaldehyde blend. Based on these results we discovered the first attractive blend, which was able to attract both adult male and female C. perspectalis in field conditions.
