AB  - Small plots (18 x 18 m) were treated with grids of cotton wicks that contained 
      semiochemicals for adultDiabrotica barberi Smith and Lawrence, the northern corn 
      rootworm (NCR). In plots treated with eugenol (350 g/hectare), NCR were attracted 
      to point sources of the compound, but there were no significant changes in 
      numbers of either NCR orD. virgifera virgifera LeConte, the western corn rootworm 
      (WCR), found on plants in the plots. In plots treated with 12.5 mg/hectare of 
      8R-methyl-2R-decyl propanoate (2R,8R-MDP, the apparent female-produced sex 
      pheromone of NCR and WCR), males of both species were attracted to point sources, 
      but beetles did not congregate within treated plots. With racemic 2,8-MDP at 1.0 
      g/hectare, male WCR were attracted into plots, but NCR of both sexes were 
      strongly repelled. In a separate study, capture of beetles at pheromone-baited 
      traps declined when the surrounding area contained wicks that emitted racemic 
      2,8-MDP. In treated plots, male WCR were relatively inefficient at finding 
      pheromone sources. With NCR, emigration from plots could account totally for the 
      observed 3- to 10-fold reduction in catch at 0.01-1.0 g/hectare.
