Electroantennograms (EAG) and field tests were conducted to evaluate the response of Spodoptera frugiperda males to plant volatiles and sex pheromone. Male EAGs showed the highest response to Hexan-1-ol followed by (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate, hexanal and (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol. Hexane elicited the lowest response. Two field trails were performed using Scentry Heliothis traps baited with a commercial sex pheromone and one of the following plant volatiles: hexan-1-ol, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, hexanal, ([plus or minus]) linalool, and ([plus or minus]) [alpha]-pinene. Traps with pheromone alone were used as controls. The capture of S. frugiperda males in traps with plant volatiles+sex pheromone was not significant different to the capture of traps baited with sex pheromone alone. No females were captured during the field trials. Inglés
