Notes: In the present work, the attractant efficacy of 6 increasing emission rates of 2-(1,5-dimethyl-4-methylencyclopenent-2-en-1-yl)ethyl acetate was evaluated under field conditions in Spanish persimmon orchards by installing experimental dispensers loaded with different quantities of pheromone in cardboard sticky traps. The main goal was to examine the correlation between male captures and the corresponding emission rates and, thus, determine an optimal emission value that maximizes the attractant activity of the pheromone compound. https://doi.org/10.1093/jisesa/ieag044
