Abstract
A method of deterring Drosophila suzukii, comprising providing an effective dose of cis-4-undecenal, or a precursor yielding cis-4-undecenal through autoxidation, at a location from which Drosophila suzukii should be deterred, is disclosed. Use of cis-4-undecenal for deterring Drosophila suzukii, and a deterrent composition and a device for deterring Drosophila suzukii, the deterrent composition and device comprising cis-4-undecenal or a precursor yielding cis-4-undecenal through autoxidation, are also disclosed.
Description
DETERRENT COMPOSITION AND METHOD Technical field The technology proposed herein relates generally to the field of deterrent compositions and methods for deterring pests. More particularly the technology proposed herein concerns deterrent compositions comprising aldehydes, in particular, (Z)-4-_undecenal,_for ._ ~ formaterade: Teckensnirckursiv deterring flies, in particular Drosophila suzukii, the spotted wing Drosophila.
Background Damage caused by pests, such as flies, can have significant economic consequences forfarmers growing inter alia fruits and berries. Such pests may inter alia feed on parts of thefruits or berries, or deposit eggs that develop into larvae that feed on or in the fruits orberries. ln both cases the affected fruits and berries become damaged, and thereforedecrease in attractiveness and value from a consumer perspective. The damage broughtupon the berries or fruits by the pests may additionally allow or promote further damage,such as from other pests, microorganisms, or diseases, thus leading to further economicloss for the farmers. Conversely, some pests, including flies, only affect, e.g. feed on andlay eggs on and in, already damaged or overripe fruits. One such pest is the drosophilid fly Drosophila melanogaster.
Another Drosophila fly, Drosophila suzukii (also known as spotted wing drosophila), hassince the year 2008 invaded North America and Europe from Asia, thereby causingdevastating economic cost for farmers each year. Unlike most drosophilid flies, like theabove-mentioned Drosophila melanogaster which infest overripe and damaged fruit,female Drosophila suzukii puncture the fruit skin, using a serrated ovipositor, to inserteggs (oviposit) into, and damage, fresh ripening fruits. Larvae develop in the pulp beforeharvest. The developing larvae consume the fruit flesh resulting in collapse of the fruits.Secondary infestations by fungi and bacteria, as well as other insects is common. Thismakes Drosophila suzukii more difficult to control, and this initial damaging of undamaged,ripening fruits further, as discussed above, facilitates and increases the risk of other pestsattacking the fruit or berry. Moreover, Drosophila suzukii also infests stored fruit post-harvest. lrrelevant if infested pre- or post-harvest, developing larvae make fruit non-marketable. Fruits affected include strawberries, cherries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, kiwi, grapes, and other soft fruits.
Measures for prevention and suppression of damage include harvest before ripeness, useof insect nets and strict sanitary measures such as destruction of infested fruits. However,these control methods for example can only be applied for certain fruits, are costly and not always practical.
Pesticides have also been used for controlling Drosophila suzukii. EP3488695A1 thusdiscloses pesticide compositions comprising one or more pesticide volatile organiccompounds made up from branched or cyclic alkanes or alkenes. As shown in Fig. 1B ofthis document, various compounds were effective in killing Drosophila suzukii flies,Pesticides are however generally, due to their toxicity, less desirable to use close to, oron, fruits intended for human consumption. lt is further difficult to target larvae inside thefruit with a pesticide. There is also a risk of pesticides killing or affecting (non-target)species other than the target species to be controlled by the pesticide. Further, in order toget an effect, i.e. a killing of the pests, an effective amount of the pesticide has to be provided to the species to be controlled by the pesticide.
There is accordingly a need for further methods, uses, and compositions that can be used to protect fruit from infestation by Drosophila suzukii.
Ob'ect of the Technology lt is accordingly a first object of the technology proposed herein to provide methods anduses for deterring Drosophila suzukii, in particular for deterring Drosophila suzukii from ovipositioning. lt is a further object of the technology proposed herein to provide a deterrent composition for deterring Drosophila suzukii. lt is yet a further object of the technology proposed herein to provide a device for deterring Drosophila suzukii.
Summam At least one of the abovementioned objects, or at least one of the further objects whichwill become evident from the below description, is according to corresponding first and second aspects of the technology proposed herein obtained by a method of deterring Drosophila suzukii, comprising providing an effective dose of cis-4- undecenal (s: a at a location from which Drosophila suzukii should be deterred.___and the use of cis-4-undecenal for deterring Drosophila suzukii.
Accordingly, the technology proposed herein is based on the discovery, as validated inExample 1, that cis-4-undecenal significantly decreases the oviposition of Drosophilasuzukii. ln other words, fewer eggs are laid in fruits in locations provided with cis-4-undecenal. This decrease in oviposition is significant, both in comparison with ethanol(controls) and in comparison, with the general aldehyde trans-2-undecenal.
The method and use according to the corresponding first and second aspects of thetechnology proposed herein provides for deterring Drosophila suzukii, thereby providing away of reducing and/or preventing the problem of Drosophila suzukii infestations.
Below, features applicable to both the first and second aspects of the technology proposed herein will be discussed.
Deterring Drosophila suzukii encompasses one or more of at least partially keepingDrosophila suzukii away from the location, reducing the attractiveness of the location toDrosophila suzukii, reducing the number of Drosophila suzukii in the location, andreducing the tendency of Drosophila suzukii to oviposit in the location.
Preferably, deterring Drosophila suzukii comprises or consists of deterring Drosophilasuzukii from ovipositioning, such as reducing the tendency of Drosophila suzukii to oviposit, at or in, the location.
The cis-4-undecenal, or a precursor as described further below, may be provided in solidphase, liquid phase or in gas phase in the location.
An effective dose of cis-4-undecenal is a dose sufficient to deter Drosophila suzukii in orfrom the location. The effective dose will depend on the size of the location and themanner in which the cis-4-undecenal is provided at the location. One of ordinary skill inthe art will be able of determining an effective dose on the basis of the examples and theembodiments discussed further below, and on the basis of observing whether Drosophilasuzukii is deterred from the location.
Where the cis-4-undecenal is provided as a precursor as described further below, then aneffective dose of the precursor is a dose sufficient to provide, through autoxidation of the precursor, an effective dose of cis-4-undecenal as described above.
Cis-4-undecenal is also known as (Z)-4-undecenal, cis-Undec-4-enal, (Z)-undec-4-enal, orZ4-11Al. lt has the CAS number 68820-32-6, the molecular formula C11H20O and a molecular weight of 168.28 g/mol. The structural formula is given as formula I below: The location may comprise any location in which fruits are grown, handled, transported, orstored. The location may for example comprise an individual fruit, a fruit bearing plant orbush, a fruit tree, a garden, an orchard, a greenhouse, all or a portion of a processingplant for handling, processing and/or packing the fruits, etc.
Additionally, the location may comprise a bag, box, or other container into whichharvested fruit is to be placed, or has been placed, for example for transporting and/orstoring the fruit. This includes freight containers carried by road vehicle, ship or plane, as well as holds on ships in which fruit has been, or will be, placed.
The cis-4-undecenal may be provided at the location by providing cis-4-undecenal per seat the location, or by providing a precursor yielding cis-4-undecenal through autoxidationat the location.
The precursor can be any linear aliphatic compound with at least 13 carbon atoms andcomprising Z double bonds at carbon atoms N and N+4 that is capable of yielding cis-4-undecenal through autoxidation. One example is (Z,Z)-7,11 tridecadiene.
The precursor is preferably a (Z,Z,Z)-7,11,15-triene, such as (Z,Z,Z)-7,11,15-docosatriene, or a (Z,Z)-7,11 diene such as (Z,Z)-7,11-octadecadiene or (Z,Z)-7,1 1-heptacosadiene.
The precursor preferably yields cis-4-undecenal in one reaction step of autoxidation.The rate at which the precursor autoxidizes depends on the temperature and partialpressure of oxygen in the location. Preferred precursors are those that autoxidizes at arate sufficient so that that at least 1% of the precursor has autoxidized yielding cis-4-undecenal after 2 hours in the location, alternatively at least 1% of the precursor has autoxidized yielding cis-4-undecenal after 1 hours in the location.
Preferably the method and corresponding use comprises deterring Drosophila suzukii from fruits provided at the location.
The fruits are preferably ripening or ripe fruits. Preferably the fruits are selected from thegroup consisting of strawberries, cherries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches,nectarines, apricots, kiwi, and grapes.
Preferably the method and corresponding use comprises deterring Drosophila suzukii from ovipositioning on the fruits.
Preferably the cis-4-undecenal is provided at a dose of at least 0.1 ng cis-4-undecenal perg fruits, preferably at least 0.5 ng cis-4-undecenal per g fruits, more preferably at least 1ng cis-4-undecenal per g fruits. ln example 1 and 2, the dose used was 1.18 or 1 _23 ng cis-4-undecenal per g fruits, whichprovided a clear deterring effect of Drosophila suzukii, as noted in the decreased ovipositionon the berries. These dosages thus provide examples of an effective dose of cis-4-undecenal. Depending on the weight amount of fruit in the location, the total amount of cis- 4-undecenal provided in the location may be adjusted according to these dosages.
Alternatively, or additionally, the cis-4-undecenal is provided at a dose of at least 0.7 ug cis-4-undecenal per m2 of fruit surface area, preferably at least 3.5 ug cis-4-undecenal per m2of fruit surface area, more preferably at least 7 ug cis-4-undecenal per m2 of fruit surfacearea. ln example 1 and 2, the dose used was 7.8 or 8.1 ug cis-4-undecenal per m2 of fruit surfacearea, and this provided a clear deterring effect of ššæsærDrosophi/a suzukii, as noted in thedecreased oviposition on the berries.
These dosages thus provide examples of an effective dose of cis-4-undecenal.
Where a precursor yielding cis-4-undecenal is used as described above, then the dose ofthe precursor åßgggpreferably selected so as to provide the abovementioned dosages of cis- 4-undecenal.
The cis-4-undecenal or the precursor is preferably applied to the vegetation canopy of theplants, bushes or trees carrying the fruits, or to a bag, box, or other container in which thefruits are placed for transport and/or storage.
The cis-4-undecenal or the precursor may alternatively be applied, such as by spraying ordipping, in or at the location, such as by spraying or dipping the fruits.
Spraying may be used for applying the cis-4-undecenal or the precursor to fruits stillattached to plants, bushes or trees, whereas spraying or dipping may be applied to fruitsthat have been harvested, such as prior to the fruits being stored for later marketing and consumption. Cis-4-undecenal or the precursor may be sprayed using conventional spraying equipment, if needed dissolved in a suitable solvent, i.e. as the compositionaccording to the third aspect of the technology proposed herein. Likewise, cis-4-undecenal or the precursor, if needed dissolved in a suitable solvent, i.e. as thecomposition according to the third aspect of the technology proposed herein, may beprovided in a conventional container or bath into which the fruits are dipped. The cis-4-undecenal or the precursor may inter alia be applied to fruits being transported on aconveyor, mixed with fruits in a mixer or funnel, applied to fruits in storage or fruits being transported, etc. ln a further alternative, the cis-4-undecenal or the precursor is provided in a dispenserarranged at the location, the dispenser being configured to release the cis-4-undecenal orthe precursor.
This provides an alternative to applying the cis-4-undecenal or the precursor to thevegetation canopy or bag, box, or other container, and to applying the cis-4-undecenal tothe fruit itself. ln line with the above, the dispenser may for example be arranged in a bag,box, or other container in which the fruits are placed for transport and/or storage. Providingthe precursor or the cis-4-undecenal in a dispenser may prolong the effect of the cis-4- undecenal.
The dispenser may comprise a source of cis-4-undecenal or the precursor, such as acontainer or absorbent body holding cis-4-undecenal or the precursor, and dispensingdevice, such as a nozzle or outlet in contact with the source, for releasing the cis-4-undecenal or the precursor. The dispensing device may further comprise asemipermeable membrane or septa for releasing the cis-4-undecenal or the precursor.The dispenser may additionally comprise a pump or other means, such a source ofpressure, for pumping or pressuring the cis-4-undecenal or the precursor from the sourceof cis-4-undecenal or precursor to the dispensing device. ln these cases, the dispenserpreferably further comprises a control device for controlling actuation of the pump or othermeans, and/or the dispensing device, in order to provide the effective dose. The controldevice may inter alia comprise a clock device for controlling actuation at regular times,and for predetermined periods, to provide the efficient dose. Alternatively, or additionally,the control device may comprise a sensor for determining conditions at the location andfor controlling the actuation depending on the conditions determined. The conditions mayinclude one or more parameters such as temperature, light level, wind, and concentration of cis-4-undecenal in the atmosphere in the location, or information about pest abundance. The control device my further comprise an interface for receiving remotecommands enabling remote actuation.
Additionally or alternatively, the source of cis-4-undecenal or the precursor and thedispensing device, i.e. the dispenser, may comprise a rigid or non-rigid container, such asa sachet, having a wall defining an interior volume for holding cis-4-undecenal or theprecursor, where at least a section of the wall is permeable to the cis-4-undecenal or theprecursor. The dispenser may therefore for example comprise a plastic bag, sachet, ortube, for example made from polyethylene or other material permeable to cis-4-undecenal or the precursor.
Alternatively, the cis-4-undecenal or the precursor is provided by being synthesized by aplant or microorganism, more preferably a yeast or other microorganism, provided at thelocation, the genome of the plant or microorganism comprising a gene causing the plant toproduce and release cis-4-undecenal or the precursor. Suitable plants could inter alia include plants in the onion genus Allium and various herbs.
At least one of the abovementioned objects, or at least one of the further objects whichwill become evident from the below description, is according to the third aspect of thetechnology proposed herein further obtained by a deterrent composition for deterringDrosophila suzukii, the deterrent composition comprising cis-4-undecenal or a precursoryielding cis-4-undecenal through autoxidation, dissolved in a solvent, wherein theprecursor is as described above and preferably is a (Z,Z,Z)-7,11,15-triene, such as(Z,Z,Z)-7,11,15-docosatriene, or a (Z,Z)-7,11 diene such as (Z,Z)-7,11-octadecadiene or The deterrent composition according to the third aspect of the technology proposed hereinis advantageously used in the method and use according to the corresponding first andsecond aspects of the technology proposed herein.
The deterrent composition is preferably an ovipositional deterrent or ovipositional repellant.
The solvent is preferably selected from the group consisting of ethanol, acetone, benzene,carbon tetrachloride, diethyl ether, ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerol,nitromethane, pyridine, and toluene.
Of these solvents, ethanol is preferred as it is readily available and generally safe.
Preferably, the composition comprises at least 0.1 mg/liter, preferably at least 0.5 mg/liter,more preferably at least 1 mg/liter of cis-4-undecenal, or alternatively, the composition comprises an amount of the precursor that, uponautoxidation, yields at least 0.1 mg/liter, preferably at least 0.5 mg/liter, more preferably atleast 1 mg/liter of cis-4-undecenal. 1 mg/liter corresponds to the 1ng/uL used in the examples.
The deterrent composition rsss§<~§ :åaégffurther comprise§; a viscosity-increasingcompound, which when included in the deterrent composition increases the viscosity ofthe deterrent composition.
This is advantageous in that it increases the tendency of the deterrent composition toadhere to a surface, such as the surface of a fruit or other plant material such as thevegetation canopy, or to a surface such as the surface of a bag, box or other container inwhich the fruit is transported and/or stored. This eases the application of the deterrentcomposition and increases the longevity, as the deterrent composition is less affected byrain and winds, as well as physical contact with other fruits, leaves, and plant parts. lnaddition, a viscosity increasing compound would limit the release rate of the cis-4-undecenal or the precursor, thus slowing down the release rate and thereby prolongingthe effect of the deterrent composition. ln particular, the addition of the viscosity-increasing compound may allow the deterrent composition to be formulated with aconcentration of cis-4-undecenal or precursor that is higher than ideally released, butwhich however, due to the lower release rate, is still released to provide an effective doseof cis-4-undecenal, however, over a longer time.
Suitable viscosity-increasing compounds include polyethylene glycol, glycerol, waxes, oils, etc.
The deterrent composition may be solid. This may be caused by providing a suitableviscosity-increasing compound at a suitable concentration. To render the deterrentcomposition solid a polyethylene glycol with a high viscosity and a high molecular weightmay for example be used. Alternatively, a wax may to render the deterrent compositionsolid.
A solid deterrent composition may for example be easily provided in a dispenser orattached to a plant or scattered over or around fruits. This may be advantageous as itallows the cis-4-undecenal or the precursor to be provided at a location while being separate from fruit at that location. 9 Alternatively, or additionally, the deterrent composition may comprise the cis-4-undecenalor the precursor in encapsulated form. The cis-4-undecenal or the precursor, with orwithout solvent, may thus be encapsulated. Possible encapsulants include inter alia starch matrices, various polymeric coatings, oil-in-water emulsions, and lipid nanoparticles. lt is further noted within the context of the technology proposed herein that (Z,Z,Z)-7,11,15-docosatriene and (Z,Z)-7,11-octadecadiene may be especially advantageous as aprecursor as it forms cis-4-undecenal from both ends during autoxidation. Accordingly,one further aspect of the technology proposed herein thus concerns a deterrent composition comprising (Z,Z,Z)-7,11,15-docosatriene or (Z,Z)-7,11-octadecadiene.
At least one of the abovementioned objects, or at least one of the further objects whichwill become evident from the below description, is according to the fourth aspect of the technology proposed herein further obtained by a device for deterring Drosophila suzukii, the device comprising §~cis-4-undecenal or a precursor yielding cis-4- undecenal through autoxidation, wherein the precursor preferably is a (Z,Z,Z)-7,11,15- Preferably the device comprises av :r-the deterrent composition according to the third aspect of the technology proposed herein.
Preferably the device comprises a dispenser configured to release the cis-4-undecenal orthe precursor as vapor or gas.
The dispenser may be configured as described above.
Brief description of the drawinqs and detailed description A more complete understanding of the abovementioned and other features andadvantages of the technology proposed herein will be apparent from the following detaileddescription of preferred embodiments in conjunction with the appended drawings,wherein:Fig. 1 shows the mean number of eggs laid by mated female (n=54) of Drosophilasuzukii after 24 h in a dual-choice assay on blueberries treated with either 5 ngof cis-4-undecenal (Z4-11Al; dissolved in 5 ul ethanol) or 5 uL of ethanol(EtOH) as a control.Fig. 2 shows the mean number of eggs laid by mated female (n=37) of Drosophilasuzukii after 24 h in a dual-choice assay on blueberries treated with either 5 ngof cis-4-undecenal (Z4-11Al) or 5 ng trans-2-undecenal (E2-11Al) as a control.The assay was conducted in a Petri-dish (1 female/Petri-dish). The number ofeggs was used as a proxy for oviposition preference and was analyzed byANOVA (F=4. 465; *p=0.038).Fig. 3A shows a dispenser being used to deter Drosophila suzukii from apples on anapple tree.Fig. 3BFig. 3C shows the dispenser in Fig. 3A in closer detail. shows an alternative dispenser. ln the figures and the description, the same reference numeral is used to refer to thesame feature. A ' added to a reference numeral indicates that the feature so referencedhas a similar function, structure or significance as the feature carrying the reference numeral without the ', however not being identical with this feature.
Example 1: cis-4-undecenal (Z4-11Al) decreases oviposition by Drosophila suzukii on blueberries Methods and materials Drosophila suzukii (Italian strain) were acquired from an existing colony previouslycollected in ltaly (Mori et al., Enhanced yeast feeding following mating facilitates control ofthe invasive fruit pest Drosophila suzukii. Journal of Applied Ecology, 54(1), 170-177,2017). The colony was maintained in a quarantine lab on a standard Bloomington diet at atemperature of 25 i 2°C and relative humidity (RH) of 50 i 10%, under a 12:12 (L:D) 11 photoperiod. Virgin flies were collected 4 h post-eclosion and sexed under gentle streamof C02. Male and female flies were kept separately in new food vials until 4-6 days whenthey were mixed in a new food vial for mating. Mating couples were collected with a glassPasteur pipette and relocated to an empty vial. The vials were plugged with a moisturizedcotton ball. Successfully mated females were used for the experiments. Mating was considered successful when male and female were separated from each other.
To determine the effect of cis-4-undecenal (Z4-1 1Al) on oviposition preference of D. suzukii,a dual-choice assay was performed (n=54). For oviposition substrates, blueberries werepurchased from a local grocery store. Prior to use, the surface area and weight for eachblueberry were determined. To determine the surface area, height and diameter of theblueberries were measured using a caliper ruler. Weight was determined using a weighingbalance (Precisa 4000 C, Precisa Gravimetrics AG, Switzerland). Additionally, theblueberries were graded according to ripeness and washed in deionized water and driedbefore use. To minimize variations due to size and weight of the blueberries, the substratesof similar phenological characters (weight, size, and ripeness) were paired in a glass Petri-dish (VWR 216-0073) (diameter = 115 mm, height = 65 mm). 5 uL of Z4-11Al (1 ng/uL,dissolved in ethanol) were applied on the surface of the blueberries. 5 uL of ethanol wasadded to the control blueberries. Two blueberries, i.e. a Z4-11Al-treated and a controlblueberry were arranged approximately 80 mm a part in one of the glass Petri-dishes. Matedfemales of D. suzukii were introduced, using a Pasteur-pipette, into the Petri-dishes (1female/Petri-dish) and covered with a perforated lid. To minimize variation due to firstcontact, the females were placed in the middle of the Petri-dishes at equidistance from theberries.
The number of eggs was used as a proxy for oviposition preference and was analyzed byANOVA.
Results The mean weight and surface area of berries were as follows: berry treated with Diameter (mm) surface area (mmz) weight (g)Z4-11Al 12.1310.77 320.12131.56 2.1110.32EtOH 12191069 322.10127.65 2.1110.33 As shown in Fig. 1, the mean number of eggs laid by mated females (n=54) of Drosophila suzukii after 24 h was significantly lower (F = 8.539, *p = 0.012) at 2.5 1 0.5 eggs on 12 blueberries treated with cis-4-undecenal (Z4-11Al) as compared to the control blueberries(5.2 i 0.8 eggs) treated with ethanol (EtOH).
Accordingly, treatment with cis-4-undecenal (Z4-11Al) provided a deterring effect on theDrosophila suzukiiflies (females) in that the number of eggs laid on the treated berries weresignificantly lower than on the control berries.
The dosing in this example was about 2.5 ng Z411Al per each blueberry, i.e. about 1.18 ngper gram blueberry. The corresponding dosage per surface area was 2.5 ng per 320.12 mm2 = 0,0078 ng per mm2.
Example 2: Comparison of cis-4-undecenal (Z4-11Al) and trans-2-undecenal (E2-11Al) Methods and materials To determine if Z4-11Al and trans-2-undecenal (E2-11Al) had different effect on theoviposition of D. suzukii, a second set of dual-choice experiments were conducted similarto the first dual-choice experiments (Example 1 above), except that blueberries treated with5 uL of E2-11Al (1 ng/uL) were paired with Z4-11Al treated blueberries (5 uL,1 ng/uL asabove) (n=37). ln both set-ups, the females were removed after 24 h, the number of eggslaid on the berries were counted under a microscope and used as a proxy for oviposition preference. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for statistical analysis.
Results The mean weight and surface area of berries were as follows: berry treated with diameter (mm) surface area (mmz) weight (g)Z4-11Al 11.53 i 1.15 307.33 i 48.36 2.04 i 0.35E2-11Al 11.45 i 1.10 302.44 i 47.26 2.05 i 0.37 As shown in Fig. 2, the mean number of eggs laid by mated females (n=54) of Drosophilasuzukii after 24 h was significantly lower (F = 4.465; *p = 0.038) at 1.3 i 0.4 eggs onblueberries treated with cis-4-undecenal (Z4-11Al) as compared to 2.5 i 0.4 eggs on theblueberries treated with trans-2-undecenal (E2-11Al).
Accordingly, treatment with cis-4-undecenal (Z4-11Al) provided a significantly strongerdeterring effect on the Drosophila suzukiiflies (females) than trans-2-undecenal (E2-11Al).The dosing in this example was about 2.5 ng Z4-11Al per each blueberry, i.e. about 1.23ng per gram blueberry. The corresponding dosage per surface area was 2.5 ng per 307.33 mm2 = 0,0081 ng per mm2. 13 Fig. 3A shows a dispenser 10 (shown in more detail in fig. 3B) being used to deterDrosophila suzukii from ripening apples 4 on an apple tree 2.
The dispenser 10 comprises an enclosure 12 defining an interior volume 14, a source 16 ofcis-4-undecenal placed within the enclosure 12, a dispensing nozzle 18 connected to thesource 16 via a pump 20, the pump 20 alternatively being replaced by a suitable tubingand/or wick to deliver the cis-4-undecenal passively through capillary forces or evaporation.The pump 20 receives power from a battery 22, said power being routed through a relay 24controlled by a control device 26. The control device 26 is configured to close the relay 24at specific times, for example at specific timer intervals, to thereby selectively actuate the pump 20 in order to dispense the cis-4-undecenal.
Fig. 3C shows an alternative dispenser 10' comprising a semipermeable wall 12' definingan interior volume 14f_ in which cis-4-undecenal 16' is provided. Cis-4-undecenalcontinuously permeates through the wall 12' to reach the outer side 28' thereof, fromwhich the cis-4-undecenal evaporates. The alternative dispenser 10' thus dispenses thecis-4-undecenal only passively and spontaneously, in contrast to the dispenser 10 in which dispensing may be controlled by the control device 26.
Although figs 3A-3C refers to cis-4-undecenal as being used in the respective dispenser, a precursor yielding cis-4-undecenal through autoxidation could be used instead.
