Control of Ephestia kuehniella Zell. by sex pheromones in the flour mills
Anzeiger für Schädlingskunde, Pflanzenschutz, Umweltschutz 67 (4), 74-77
Abstract: The possibility of controlling of Ephestia kuehniella Zell. by mass-trapping, mating-disruption and attracticide method was investigated in Northern Italy from 1986 to 1992.
Considerable progress has been made in these years in controlling of mediterranean flour moth with sex pheromone (Z9E12-14Ac or TDA). The utilization of synthetic pheromone could lead to a drastic reduction of chemical treatments with consequent economic and qualitative advantages, protecting goods from residual products noxious to consumers and improving the image of the firm.
