  • Communication disruptant and communication disruption method
    Patent number: 6599500
    Abstract: When a communication disruptant containing (Z)-11-tetradecen-1-yl acetate as the only active ingredient is continually used for a period of 5 to 10 years, a phenomenon has been observed in which its communication-disrupting effect on insect pests, particularly of the family Tortricidae, living in the field or the like through successive generations is reduced. Accordingly, it is eagerly desired to develop a new communication disruptant which is also effective for such fields where the communication-disrupting effect (on insect pests, particularly of the family Tortricidae, living there through successive generations) has been reduced.
