The technique is aplicable to double bond localization of polyunsaturated compounds available even in nanogram quantities. The triene ester was synthesized by a stereospecific procedure and shown to be highly attractive to conspecific males and identical to the natural substance. aBrazil aintegrated pest management amonitoring amoths aSouth America asynthesis aIPM aPest aScrobipalpuloides absoluta aSex pheromone aTomato aTriene acetate1 aJHAM, G.
