Abstract
As the field of pheromone research evolved, and it became clear that pheromones possessed great potential as components of pest management strategies, it became necessary (a) to define precisely the pheromonal blend emitted by the insect, (b) to determine the rates of production and release of the blends by the insect, and (c) to develop controlled release systems for use in monitoring, mass trapping, and aerial dissemination control programs; such development, as noted by Roelofs (1979), requiring a knowledge of the useful longevity of the formulated materials under normal use conditions.
