providing notice of receipt of the 

application and opportunity to 

comment. 

File Symbol: 53575-GA. Applicant: 

Pacific Biocontrol Corporation, 575 

Viewridge Dr., Angwin, CA 94508. 

Product name: Isomate-EGVM mating 

disruptor pheromone (E,Z)-7,9- 

Dodecadien-1-yl acetate at 75.68%. 

Proposed classification/Use: None. 

III. Background Information 

The European Grape Vine moth 

(EGVM), Lobesia botrana, is a 

Lepidopteran pest that poses a risk of 

serious harm to vineyards. The EGVM is 

established in many parts of the world, 

but, has not previously been observed in 

the United States. Recently, the EGVM 

has been observed in the Napa Valley of 

northern California. The EGVM can feed 

on both the flower and the fruit of the 

grapevine. If the moth attacks mature 

grape clusters, the berries can become 

further damaged through infection by 

the fungus botrytis – a condition known 

as bunch rot. In 2009, Napa Valley 

winegrape growers suffered serious crop 

loss and damage from EGVM. 

Approximately 30 properties have been 

officially identified as having the pest 

present, and it is believed that the pest 

will be found on many more properties 

once delimitation trapping is conducted 

this spring. As a sustainable agriculture 

community, registration of a 

pheromone-based product is of 

importance to the Napa Valley 

winegrape growers and other affected 

communities in order to provide 

effective, sustainable, and low risk 

alternatives to traditional pesticides. 

The subject active ingredient is a 

synthetic biochemical that is 

structurally similar to and mimics the 

naturally occurring pheromone 

produced by the female EGVM to attract 

males for mating. This pheromone is 

one of a group of straight-chain 

lepidopteran pheromones (SCLPs) for 

which EPA has previously conducted an 

aggregate risk assessments. The active 

ingredient will mitigate the effects of the 

EGVM by disrupting the normal mating 

cycle of the EGVM. The pheromone will 

be contained in a twist-tie dispenser 

that consists of a polyethylene plastic 

tube parallel to an associated aluminum 

wire within the field. It will be applied 

by hand directly on the plant or trellis 

wires. Each twist-tie dispenser slowly 

releases infinitesimal amounts of 

pheromone into the atmosphere. The 

pheromone slowly diffuses from the 

inside of the tube to the surface where 

it volatilizes in microgram amounts. 

This formulation is not randomly 

distributed by a mechanical device, nor 

is it sprayed into the air. 

A. What are pheromones? 

Pheromones are natural chemicals 

emitted by insects that mediate 

communications between individuals of 

the same species. Pheromones serve a 

number of functions including 

identifying the location of food sources, 

alarming other individuals about 

potential dangers, and locating potential 

mates. Pheromones are ubiquitous in 

the environment, and are not considered 

to be air pollutants. 

EPA has registered many products 

containing SCLPs. The Agency has 

compiled a substantial database on 

SCLPs and has assessed the risks of this 

class of compounds to human health 

and the environment. SCLPs exhibit 

negligible toxicity in animal testing; 

have no effects on non-target species; 

and are used at extremely low rates 

(application rates of SCLPs do not 

exceed 150 grams active ingredient/ 

acre/year). Because the effects of SCLPs 

are highly species specific, and given 

their low application rates, risks to 

human health are negligible. In 

addition, EPA concludes that there is no 

likelihood of adverse effects to nontarget organisms. SCLPs are exempt 

from the requirement of a tolerance in 

or on all raw agricultural commodities 

when applied to growing crops at a rate 

not to exceed 150 grams of active 

ingredient/acre (40 CFR 180.1153). EPA 

has determined that there is a certainty 

of no harm from consumption of food 

containing residues of SCLPs. 

B. What is Isomate-EGVM? 

The application before the Agency is 

for ‘‘Isomate-EGVM,’’ an end-use 

product (EP) containing 94% of active 

ingredient, which is the SCLP that is 

chemically similar to the pheromone 

produced naturally by the European 

Grapevine Moth – and which has a 

similar physiologic effect. In general, 

pheromones are easily broken down by 

UV light and oxidation, and do not 

remain long in the environment. But, to 

be effective, the Isomate-EGVM must 

last long enough to effectively act on the 

target pest’s population within the 

orchards where they are used. Inert 

ingredients are therefore added as 

stabilizers to protect the longevity of the 

pheromone. Isomate-EGVM contains 

two inert ingredients, BHT and 

bumetrizole. BHT is an antioxidant and 

bumetrizole functions as a UV stabilizer. 

BHT is approved by the FDA as a food 

additive permitted for direct addition to 

food for human consumption, and is 

present in a wide array of food items. 

Bumetrizole is also approved by the 

FDA as a stabilizer in polymers used in 

producing, manufacturing, packaging, 

processing, and transporting food. In 

addition, the NOP (National Organic 

Program) has approved both of these 

ingredients for organic uses involving 

twist-tie dispensers. 

C. EPA’s Proposed Action 

Pursuant to FIFRA Section 3(c)(4), 

EPA is providing notice of, and the 

opportunity to comment on, the receipt 

of an application for registration for the 

pesticide product Isomate-EGVM. In 

addition, EPA is providing advanced 

notice of OPP’s preliminary risk 

assessment on Isomate-EGVM. EPA has 

been informed by USDA’s Animal Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS) that 

vineyards located in Sonoma and Napa 

counties in California have become 

infested with EGVM. The moth is 

currently in diapause. APHIS is 

concerned that an active and severe 

infestation may begin when the moths 

begins to emerge from diapause in late 

February. APHIS has requested 

expedited consideration of the IsomateEGVM registration application so that 

growers will be able to immediately 

begin to use this product for mating 

disruption efforts when the insects 

emerge. Based upon EPA’s risk 

assessment for SCLPs, including the 

EGVM pheromone, EPA believes that 

registration of Isomate-EGVM will not 

cause harm to humans and will not

cause unreasonable adverse effects on 

the environment particularly given the 

fact that the product, when applied, 

volatizes when released.
