| Abstract: | When the distillable oil from adult boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis, of both sexes was investigated with an integrated gas chromatographymass spectrometry system, evidence was obtained for a number of mono- and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and some substituted anilines including o-toluidine; for some C5 and C6 alcohols and monoterpene alcohols; and for at least one sesquiterpene alcohol. The major components were a series of alkanes, alkenes, and alkyl alcohols of high molecular weight. This investigation was part of a study made to identify possible additional components of the pheromone produced by the boll weevil. |
