FORMULATIONS SOLIDES CONTENANT DES PHEROMONES

LA PRESENTE INVENTION A POUR OBJET DES FORMULATIONS SOLIDES CONTENANT DES PHEROMONES SEXUELLES. CES FORMULATIONS COMPORTENT UNE PHEROMONE SEXUELLE SUPPORTEE SUR UN SUPPORT FORME D'UNE MATIERE INERTE ABSORBANTE ET D'UNE MATIERE INERTE ADSORBANTE. CES FORMULATIONS SONT DESTINEES A ETRE UTILISEES POUR LE CONTROLE DU DEVELOPPEMENT DES INSECTES ET NOTAMMENT POUR EMPECHER LEUR REPRODUCTION. There are disclosed solid formulations containing, as an active substance, a sex pheromone; as main vehicles, a carrier having absorbing properties and another carrier having adsorbing properties, and, furthermore, a wetting agent, a dispersant, a sticker, an ultraviolet (U.V.) stabilizer, an antioxidant and, optionally, a film-forming resin. Such formulations are utilized to control insects. In particular, the disclosed formulations contain, as an active substance, a sex pheromone of insects and, as a main vehicle, a mixture composed of a carrier having absorbing properties, and of another carrier having adsorbing properties, and are utilized to prevent insects from mating (mating disruption).
