Abstract Host plant-derived semiochemicals are becoming the most promising attractants to lure corn borers to traps in the field. Following success with the European corn borer ( Ostrinia nubilalis ), a two-component blend bisexual lure (phenylacetaldehyde and 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanol) of the host plant odor was tested in wind tunnel and field trapping experiments on the Asian corn borer ( Ostrinia furnacalis ) (ACB). To be able to compare the lure's performance with synthetic pheromone, a new
