Abstract

The present invention relates to a Bactrocera oleae attractant composition comprising at least one terpene and at least one carbonyl compound as active substances, and at least one excipient.

Claims (19)

1. Attractant composition for attracting insects of the species Bactrocera oleae comprising (Z)-beta-ocimene, (E)-beta-ocimene, beta-caryophyllene and decanal, as the only active substances, and at least one excipient.

2. The attractant composition for attracting insects of the species Bactrocera oleae according to claim 1 , wherein said active substances represent from 20% to 50% by weight of the total weight of the attractant composition.

3. The attractant composition for attracting insects of the species Bactrocera oleae according to claim 1 , wherein:

the combination (Z)-beta-ocimene and (E)-beta-ocimene represents between 15% and 40% by weight,

beta-caryophyllene represents between 40% and 70% by weight, and

decanal represents between 5.0% and 20% by weight with respect to the total content of active substances of the composition.

4. The attractant composition for attracting insects of the species Bactrocera oleae according to claim 3 , wherein:

the combination (Z)-beta-ocimene and (E)-beta-ocimene represents 25% by weight,

beta-caryophyllene represents 60% by weight, and

decanal represents 15% by weight with respect to the total content of active substances of the composition.

5. The attractant composition for attracting insects of the species Bactrocera oleae according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one excipient is selected from the group comprising at least one oily agent, at least one emulsifier, at least one preservative, at least one aqueous agent or a combination thereof.

6. The attractant composition for attracting insects of the species Bactrocera oleae according to claim 5 , wherein:

a) the active substances represent from 20% to 50% by weight of the total weight of the total attractant composition,

b) the at least one oily agent represents from 2.0% to 60% by weight of the total weight of the total attractant composition,

c) the at least one emulsifier represents from 5.0% to 50% by weight of the total weight of the total attractant composition, and

d) the at least one preservative represents from 0.1% to 2.0% by weight of the total weight of the total attractant composition.

7. Method for attracting and controlling Bactrocera oleae , comprising:

a) preparing the attractant composition for attracting insects of the species Bactrocera oleae according to claim 1 , and

b) presenting an efficacious quantity of the Bactrocera oleae attractant composition to said Bactrocera oleae for ingestion.
