The invention discloses a sex attractant for yellow rice borers as well as a preparation method and application of the sex attractant, and relates to the technical field of
agricultural pest monitoring, prevention and control. The sex attractant comprises an
active component which is prepared from (Z)-dodecyl-9-ene-1-yl acetate, (E)-dodecyl-9, 11-
diene-1-yl acetate and (7E, 9Z)-dodecyl-7, 9-
diene-1-yl acetate, and the sex attractant is prepared from an
active component which is prepared from the following components of (Z)-dodecyl-9-ene-1-yl acetate, (E)-dodecyl-9, 11-
diene-1-yl acetate and (7E, 9Z)- According to the sex attractant disclosed by the invention, aiming at the current sugarcane area dominant
population, the three
active components have a synergistic effect, so that the
trapping activity of the current sugarcane area dominant
population is remarkably improved, and the problems that the
trapping activity is low and the specificity is poor due to the fact that a control object is not matched with the dominant
population in the existing sex attractant product are solved. Field trials show that the
trapping quantity of the sex attractant provided by the invention on the yellow rice borers is obviously higher than that of a control group, the sex attractant has extremely
high population specificity, and accurate monitoring and efficient trapping and killing of yellow rice borer populations can be realized.
