Experiments were carried out in 6 x 6 and 5 x 5 Latin square designs for the aldehydes and ketones, respectively. Means with the same letter, within the same column, are not significantly different. n, total number of replicates for each treatment; CR, catch reduction. 1, heptanal; 2, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one; 3, octanal; 4, acetophenone; 5, nonanal; 6, decanal; and 7, geranylacetone. Baited trap, positive control; WRC, negative control.
