AbstractMegaplatypus mutatus (=Platypus sulcatus Chapuis) is an Ambrosia beetle native to South America, which was recently introduced in Italy and its presence there is causing severe damage to the local poplar plantations. The male M. mutatus pheromone is composed of (S)-(+)-6-methyl-5-hepten-2-ol [(+)-sulcatol], 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one (sulcatone) and 3-pentanol. A series of field trials testing dose, blend and enantiomer composition performed in Argentina and Italy evaluated attraction and found that the optimal release rate of pheromone components as baits in cross vane baited traps (CIPEIN-CV) was 6, 6 and 30 mg day−1 of sulcatone, (+)-sulcatol and 3-pentanol, respectively. It was also determined that racemic sulcatol is as effective as the pure (+)-isomer for the purpose of beetle catch, due to the inert nature of the (−)-isomer allowing the usage of low cost racemic sulcatol instead of highly expensive (+)-sulcatol. The results of our work contribute to the development of pheromone-based local technologies with low environmental impact and low cost for control or monitoring of an important pest.

By means of GC, GC-MS and GC-combined EAG recordings (9Z,12E)-9,12-tetradecadien-1-ol (1) and (9Z,12E)-9,12-tetradecadienyl acetate (2) in a ratio of 4:1 were identified as the pheromone components of the female pyralid moth Euzophera punicaella M. originating from Armenia. Determination of EAG activity with male moth antennae and synthetic test chemicals revealed best responses with a mixture of both compounds.

Abstract Enantiomers of 6 propionic acid-derived herbicides in the form of their esters were resolved using liquid chromatography with a chiral column. Free acids are converted to methyl esters by means of a BF3- catalyzed reaction. Chromatographic resolutions for 6 of 8 herbicides investigated were in the range of 2 to 4. The method was applied for the simultaneous determination of mecoprop and 2,4-D content and individual mecoprop enantiomers in 2 formulations containing racemic and R-mecoprop in mixture with 2,4-D. Precision and accuracy of content determination was comparable to standard methods, and enantiomer contents were in good agreement with declared values. The enantiomers of dichlorprop and mecoprop were also resolved as diastereomeric menthyl esters by achiral high resolution gas chromatography (HRGC). HRGC data on enantiomer composition were in good agreement with those from the LC method and other data
