복숭아굴나방의 암컷 성페로몬 성분을 GC-EAD 장치를 이용하여 분석한 결과, (14S)-14-Methyl-1-octadecene (14Sme-1-18Hy)이 유일한 성페로몬인 것으로 확인되었다. 야외에서 수컷은 합성 14Sme-1-18Hy를 미끼로 한 트랩에 잘 유인되었는데, 0.1mg 침적농도에서 유인수가 가장 낮았으며, 침적농도가 0.5와 1.0mg인 트랩의 유인효과는 큰 차이가 없었다. 야외조건에서 14Sme-1-18Hy 0.5mg를 침적한 미끼의 유인효과는 적어도 8주 동안 유지되었으며, 미끼에 첨가된 항산화제(BHT)는 노출 기간에 상관없이 유인효과에 별다른 영향을 주지 못하였다. 수원지역의 복숭아원에서 페로몬 트랩을 이용하여 발생소장을 2년에 걸쳐 조사한 결과, 성충은 4월부터 10월까지 트랩에 유인되었으며 연간 6세대 발생하는 것으로 추정되었다.
The female sex pheromone of the peach leafminer, Lyonetia clerkella Linne (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae), was analyzed by coupled gas chromatographic-electroantennographic detector (GC-EAD). GC-EAD analyses of pheromone gland extract revealed a single compound that elicited responses from male antennae. Retention time on DB-1 column of EAD-active compound was identical to that of synthetic (145)-14-Methyl-1-octadecene (14Sme-1-18Hy). In field tests, sticky traps baited with synthetic 14Sme-1-18Hy alone were highly attractive to male. Traps with 0.1 mg dose showed the lowest catches, but there were no significant difference in the numbers of moth caught in traps baited with doses of 0.5 and 1.0 mg. The results of the field assays for longevity of pheromone traps showed that effectiveness of lures maintained for at least 8 weeks under field condition. The attractiveness of 14Sme-1-18Hy was not affected by the addition of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) in lures as an antioxidant. Traps baited with 0.5 mg 14Sme-1-18Hy were successfully used to monitor L. clerkella male flights. Analysis of seasonal trap catches over two years showed that moth flight activity in peach orchards occurred over a period of seven months with six generations in Suwon.
