The non-polar components of female body wax and pheromone gland extracts of the yellow peach moth synergistically enhanced male behavioral responses from close to pheromone sources in wind tunnel tests when mixed with an aldehyde pheromone blend. When the non-polar fractions (NPFs) of female body wax were further separated by column chromatography, synergistic activities were found in the 3 and 50% ether in hexane fractions, and they additively increased male responses. The main components of the first fraction were (Z)-9-tricosene, (Z)-9-pentacosene, (Z)-9-heptacosene, (Z)-9-nonacosene and (Z)-9-hentriacontene. Only (Z)-9-heptacosene showed a significant synergistic effect in enhancing male responses, but the other components had no effect. A mixture of the five monoenyl hydrocarbons lost activity at lower doses than 5 ng. Natural ratios of these hydrocarbons in the female body wax and pheromone gland extracts were similar, but the amount of (Z)-9-heptacosene in the female body wax was significantly higher than in the pheromone gland extracts. We conclude that (Z)-9-heptacosene increases male responses to aldehyde pheromones, and unknown component(s) in the 50% ether in the hexane fraction are required for full synergistic enhancement by the NPFs of the female body wax and the pheromone gland extracts.
