Abstract

A method of monitoring/controlling Thysanoptera (hereafter thrips) by the use of a behaviour modifying compound of Formula 1, wherein Formula 1 is:- where R 1 is a C 8 -C 12 group and R 2 is a C 2 -C 8 group.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of monitoring/controlling Thysanoptera (hereafter thrips) by the use of a behaviour modifying compound of Formula 1, wherein Formula 1 is:-  
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       where R 1  is a C 8 -C 12  group and R 2  is a C 2 -C 8  group.  
     
     
         2 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein R 1  is aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic.  
     
     
         3 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein R 1  is cyclic or multi-cyclic (e.g. bi-cyclic).  
     
     
         4 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein R 1  is C 9 -C 11 .  
     
     
         5 . A method according to  claim 4 , wherein R 1  is C 10 .  
     
     
         6 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein R 1  is a monoterpene.  
     
     
         7 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein R 1  is the isobornyl group.  
     
     
         8 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein R 1  is the lavandulyl group.  
     
     
         9 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein R 2  is straight or branched alkyl or alkylene.  
     
     
         10 . A method according to  claim 9 , wherein R 2  is straight alkyl.  
     
     
         11 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein R 2  is C 3 -C 5 .  
     
     
         12 . A method according to  claim 11 , wherein R 2  is C 4 .  
     
     
         13 . A method according to  claim 12  wherein the R 2 C(O)O-group in the compound of Formula (1) is the valerate, isovalerate, pivalate or 2-methyl butanoate group.  
     
     
         14 . A method according to  claim 13  wherein the compound of Formula 1 is isobornyl valerate, isobornyl isovalerate, isobornyl pivalate or isobornyl 2-methyl butanoate.  
     
     
         15 . A method according to  claim 13  wherein the compound is lavandulyl valerate, lavandulyl isovalerate, or lavandulyl pivalate or lavandulyl 2-methyl butanoate.  
     
     
         16 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein the compound of Formula 1 is used as a confusant or as an attractant.  
     
     
         17 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein the compound of Formula 1 is provided in a release device located in an area infested (or potentially infested) by thrips.  
     
     
         18 . A method according to  claim 17 , wherein the release device includes a means for immobilising and/or killing the thrips.  
     
     
         19 . A method according to  claim 18 , wherein the compound of Formula 1 is held in/on a support medium of the release device.  
     
     
         20 . A method according to  claim 19 , wherein the support medium is an adhesive material.  
     
     
         21 . A method according to  claim 20 , wherein the release device comprises a sheet of plastic having a sticky adhesive coating which has been soaked/coated with a formulation including a compound of Formula 1.  
     
     
         22 . A method according to  claim 21 , wherein the plastic is porous.  
     
     
         23 . A method according to  claim 21 , wherein the solvent for the formulation is hexane or acetone.  
     
     
         24 . A method according to  claim 21 , wherein the plastic is coloured blue, white or yellow.  
     
     
         25 . A method according to  claim 17 , wherein the release device produces/releases from 150 picograms per hour to 1,500,000 picograms (1.5 μg) per hour of a compound of Formula 1.  
     
     
         26 . A method according to  claim 25 , wherein the release device produces/releases from 1000 picograms per hour to 750,000 picograms (0.75 μg) per hour of a compound of Formula 1.

         28 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein the method is used in an enclosed structure such as a greenhouse.  
     
     
         29 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein the method is used to control the population of thrips for edible and/or ornamental crops, e.g. chrysanthemums, roses, cucumbers or peppers.  
     
     
         30 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein the method is used to control  Thrips palmi  (Karny).  
     
     
         31 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein the method is used to control  Thrips tabaci  (Lindeman).  
     
     
         32 . A method according to  claim 1 , wherein the method is used to control  Frankliniella fusca  (Hinds).
