COLLECTION OF AMBIENT PISTACHIO VOLATILES TO DEVELOP A SYNTHETIC, NON-PHEROMONE BACKGROUND BLEND FOR MONITORING OF NAVEL ORANGEWORM

Objective

1) Utilize a new large-scale volatile organic compound (VOC) collection system; 2) Collect in-situ pistachio VOCs from select orchards, at specific phenological stages; 3) Evaluate efficacy of collected VOCs in EAG bioassays on NOW; 4) Formulate a simple synthetic blend of EAG active volatiles.
