Evaluation of sex pheromone formulations to attract Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) adult males in Argentina
Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) is the most important pest of corn in Argentina. Its monitoring in the Americas is carried out by traps lured with a synthetic version of its female sex pheromone.

| description | Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) is the most important pest of corn in Argentina. Its monitoring in the Americas is carried out by traps lured with a synthetic version of its female sex pheromone. Such monitoring has variable success mainly because the composition of the sex pheromone of populations from distant geographical areas is different, and a synthetic lure has not been developed for each area. The composition of the sex pheromone of the populations found in Argentina is not known. The objective of this work was to test one commercial (Hercon lure) and three experimental formulations (from the manufacturer ChemTica) of the pheromone to establish if any of those formulations is better than the one currently used in the country (i.e., the commercial ChemTica lure). Attraction to the synthetic pheromones was tested in a wind tunnel using males from different regions of Argentina. In addition, field tests were carried out in two distant regions of the country. One of the experimental formulations from ChemTica and the commercial formulation from Hercon evoked the highest attraction in wind tunnel tests. In field tests, only the Hercon lure captured a significant number of males. Although lures evoking higher attraction than the commercial ChemTica lure were found, attraction and capture, even with those lures, did not reach high values. |

Spodoptera frugiperda Plagas de Plantas Feromonas Sexuales Trampas de Feromonas Argentina Pests of Plants Sex Pheromones Pheromone Traps Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) is the most important pest of corn in Argentina.

Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) es la plaga más importante del maíz en Argentina. En América su monitoreo se realiza con trampas cebadas con feromona sexual femenina sintética. Tal monitoreo tiene éxito variable, principalmente, porque la composición de la feromona sexual de poblaciones de áreas geográficas distantes es diferente y no se ha desarrollado un cebo sintético específico para cada área. Se desconoce la composición de la feromona sexual de las poblaciones encontradas en Argentina. El objetivo de este trabajo fue probar un cebo comercial (Hercon) y tres formulaciones experimentales (ChemTica) de la feromona, para establecer si alguna de esas formulaciones es mejor que la que se usa actualmente en el país (es decir, el comercial ChemTica). La atracción por las feromonas sintéticas se probó en un túnel de viento utilizando machos de diferentes regiones de Argentina. Además, se realizaron pruebas de campo en dos regiones distantes del país. Una de las formulaciones experimentales de ChemTica y la formulación comercial de Hercon provocaron la mayor atracción en las pruebas de túnel de viento. En las pruebas de campo, solo el cebo de Hercon capturó un número significativo de machos. Por lo tanto, si bien se hallaron cebos que evocan mayor atracción que el cebo comercial de ChemTica, la atracción y la captura, incluso con esos cebos, no alcanzaron valores altos.
