Responses of the male potato tuberworm moth,Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller), to two sex pheromone components and female crude extract were studied. Both in a wind tunnel and the field, males were better able to locate a source consisting of a 1∶1 mixture of (E,Z)-4,7-tridecadien-1-yl acetate and (E,Z,Z)-4,7,10-tridecatrien-1-yl acetate than a source consisting of the triene alone. The addition of the diene increased the time spent in the vicinity of the pheromone source, time spent on the source itself, and also increased the average number of visits to the source per individual when compared to the triene alone. The triene elicited high levels of locomotor activity and may play a major role in eliciting earlier (long-range) steps in the behavioral sequence of sexually activated moths. The diene appeared to influence later (short-range) behavior. The behavioral responses of males to a 1∶1 mixture of the diene and triene were similar to those elicited by female crude extract.
雄性马铃薯块茎蛾 Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) 对两种性信息素成分和雌性粗提物的反应进行了研究。无论是在风洞还是在野外，雄性都能够更好地定位由（E，Z）-4,7-十三碳二烯-1-基乙酸酯和（E，Z，Z）-4,7,10-十三碳三烯-1-基乙酸酯 1:1 混合物组成的源，而不是由三烯单独组成的源。与三烯单独使用相比，添加二烯增加了在信息素源附近停留的时间、在源上花费的时间，并且还增加了每个个体访问源的平均次数。三烯引起了高水平的运动活性，可能在激发性激活飞蛾行为序列中的早期（长距离）步骤中发挥主要作用。二烯似乎影响后期（短距离）行为。雄性对二烯和三烯 1:1 混合物的行为反应与雌性粗提物引起的反应相似。
