,1 Complete Specification for the invention entitled: A SUSTAINED-RELEASE PHEROMONE DISPENSER The following statement is a full description of this invention including the best method of performing it known to us/im:- The present invention relates to a sustained-release pheromone dispenser or, more particularly, relates to a tubular dispenser filled with a sex pheromone of an insectan pest and capable of sus-tainedly emitting the pheromone to the atmosphere to serve oc.o ^for the purpose of controlling the population of the nest in the field.
o" °oo It is already under practice to control the population of an ino o° sectan pest by utilizing the sex pheromone of the particular species a* of the insects. An essential requirement in this technology is to have the pheromone compound emitted to the field at a controlled 'II rate or at a uniform rate over a length of. time. Various attempts a and proposals have been made hitherto in this regard. A preparation of the pheromone dispenser suitable for such a purpose is of the type in which the pheromone compound is enclosed in a small container designated to be capable of controlling the rate of vaporization and emission of the pheromone compound contained therein.
It is an economically desirable condition that the number of the pheromone dispensers installed per unit area of the field is as small as possible insofar as the effect of the pheromone as desired can be exhibited over the field and the overall amount of the pheromone compound contained in the dispensers is as close as possible to the minimum amount of the pheromone required for exhibiting the effect of the pheromone over a length of time. It is an empirical i ^K^wte; of t It! 0 o If It t f rt I; Of ii t 0* I 0 ft

-2estimation that 1000 to 3000 pheromone dispensers should be distributed over a fields of 1 hectare wide in order that an emission rate of the sex pheromone of 1.5 to 3.0 g per day is maintained for 100 days under average meteorological conditions. This estimation leads to a conclusion that each of the pheromone dispensers should contain the sex pheromone in an amount in the range from 40 mg to 500 mg. With an object to ensure sustained releasability of the pheromone dispensers and to improve the working efficiently in the works of distributing the dispensers over the field, several pro- 10 posals have already been made in connection with the design of the pheromone dispensers as described in Japanese Patent Kokai 56- S- a'168o% 142202, 56-9705, 57-45101, 57-72904, 57-156403, 8 215367 and 61-202643. The pheromone dispensers proposed above are in a tubular form made of a plastic resin and advantageous in respect of the weatherability, sustained releasability of the pheromone coipound and long serviceable life. A problem in these pheromone dispensers is that the rate of pheromone emission cannot be fully uniform over the whole length of the service period but is decreased somewhat in the latter half period of the service life, The inventors have continuad extensive investigations to solve the above mentioned problem in a tubular pheromone dispenser prepared by enclosing from 40 mg to 500 mg of a sex pheromone compound of insect in a plastic-made capillary tube. Namely, the investigations have been undertaken with an object to uniformize the rate of pheromone emission from such pheromone dispensers over a long period of time by obviating the gradual if Ii j -3decrease of the emission rate in the latter half period of the service life when the dispensers are used by hanging on tree twigs in an orchard, tea garden and the like. The investigations have led to an unexpected discovery that the rate of pheromone emission from a tubular pheromone dispenser can be stabilized when the capillary space of the tubular dispenser is divided into several partitioned sections filled with the pheromone compound and the length of the 0o oo capillary space in each partitioned section filled with the pheromone compound is 60 mm or shorter, the overall amount of S" 10 the pheromone compound in a single pheromone dispenser being 0o o t in the range from 40 mg to 500 mg, on the base of which the present invention has been completed.
The present invention provides a sustained-release dispenser of a pheromone compound formed of a capillary tube having an average inner diameter of 0.5 to 3 mm and made of a polyethylene 0 0 0 or a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate having permeability to the vapor of the pheromone compound and a liquid pheromone 0 compound in an amount of 40 mg to 500 mg enclosed in the capilo .0 0 lary tube in at least three partitioned sections of liquid columns, each of the liquid columns in the partitioned sections having a Slength L not exceeding 60 mm.
In particular, it is a preferable condition that the ratio of L/S, in which L is the above defined length of the liquid column in a unit of mm and S is the cross sectional area of the capillary space in a unit of mm 2 calculated from the average inner diameter assuming a circular cross section, is not exceeding 100.
-4- In the following, the sustained-release dispenser of a pheromone compound according to the invention is described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing.
Figures 1(a) and l(b) each illustrate a sustained-release pheromone dispenser according to the invention by an axial cross section and the body of the capillary tube 1 is made of a polyethylene or a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate having permeability to the vapor of the pheromone compound to be enclosed therein and I has an average inner diameter of 0.5 to 3 mm. The space inside the capillary tube 1 is partitioned into at least three sections 3 by a plurality of partitions 2, 2, along the length of the tube 1. Each of the partitioned sections 3, 3, is filled with a liquid pheromone compound to form a column 4 of the liquid having a length not ex- •ceeding 60 mm. The column length L is preferably selected such that the ratio of L in mm to the cross sectional area S in mm 2 calculated from the average inner diameter assuming a circular cross section is not exceeding 100.
tThe above defined sustained-release pheromone dispenser of the present invention is characterized by the advantage that the rate of emission of the pheromone compound enclosed therein through the capillary walls can be maintained with stability over the whole length of the service life including the latter half thereof. Following is an explanation of the reason for the above mentioned advantageous characteristic with reference to Figure 2 illustrating a part of a conventional tubular pheromone dispenser by an axial cross section. As the volume of the liquid pheromone
A
C_ _IY_ U_ compound 14 in the capillary tube 11 is decreased by the emission of the pheromone compound 14 through the capillary walls, the ~j rate of pheromone emission is gradually decreased as a result of the decrease in the effective surface area available for the emission of the pheromone compound through the walls 15 because the concentration of the pheromone compound throughout the capillary walls 15 takes such a gradient that the concentration of the i pheromone compound is extremely low in the upper portion of the "j *empty space 13 not in direct contact with the liquid pheromone compound 14 even though the concentration gradient thereof in the vicinity of the liquid surface may remain unchanged.
i t In contrast thereto, the liquid pheromone compound 4 in the inventive sustained-release pheromone dispenser is enclosed in several partitioned sections 3, 3, so that, even when the overall volume of the pheromone compound remaining in the capillary I ;tube 1 is decreased by emission to the atmosphere, each of the liq- 'i uid columns 4 evenly remaining in bhe partitioned sections has its own liquid surface to keep a certain length of the capillary walls in the vicinity of the liquid surface where the concentration gradient of the pheromone compound within the capillary walls 5 remains constant. As a consequence, the effective surface area of the capillary walls available for emission of the pheromone compound Iis increased so much in proportion to the number of the partitioned sections 3, 3, contributing to the uaiformization of the rate of pheromone emission over the whole length of the service life.
-6- Accordingly, it is important in the sustained-release pheromone dispenser of the invention that the concentration gradient of the pheromone compound within the capillary walls is constant over an as long as possible length of the portion or portions of the capillary walls 5. In this regard, it is preferable that the inside space of the capillary tube 1 is partitioned along the length thereof into at least three partitioned sections and the liquid column formed of the pheromone compound enclosed therein has a length not exceeding 60 mm or, more preferably, not exceeding '50 mm.
On the other hand, it is also important that the capillary tube 1 has a limited surface area available for the emission of the pheromone compound in order to ensure sustained releasability of the pheromone compound over a long period of time. In this regard, the capillary tube 1 of the inventive tubular pheromone dispenser should have an average diameter in the range from 0.5 to 3 mm.
*Further, the overall amount of the pheromone compound enclosed in a single dispenser should be in the range from 40 mg to 500 mg in consideration of the requirements for the overall amount of pheromone emission and the number of the installed dispensers per unit area of the field.
The decrement in the column length of the liquid pheromone compound by the emission of the compound out of the dispenser is j i inversely proportional to the cross sectional area S of the capillary tube. In other words, the decrease in the length of the liquid column is larger when the cross sectional area S of the capillary tube is smaller assuming that the volume of the pheromone compound i 1d i enclosed in the capillary tube is the same. In this regard, iL is preferable in order to ensure uniformity in the rate of pheromone emission that the liquid column of the pheromone compound enclosed in each partitioned section has such a dimension that the ratio L/S of the length L in mm of the liquid column to the cross sectional area S in mm 2 does not exceed 100 or, more preferably, does not exceed The overall length of a single dispenser of the invention is preferably in the range from 80 mm to 300 mm. When the, length is too small, the effective surface area of a dispenser available for emission of the pheromone compound cannot be sufficiently large to ensure a desirable overall emission rate by distributing a number of the pheromone dispensers over unit area of the field if not to mention the problem that a tubular dispenser of a too small length can hardly be hung on a tree twig by bending. When the length is too large, on the other hand, a problem of workability is caused due to the inconvenience of handling in the hanging works of the phea 41tromone dispensers on twigs.
The capillary tube as the body of the inventive pheromone dispenser is shaped from a polyethylene or a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate with optional admixture of a plasticizer, lubricant, stabilizer and the like by a conventional method of extrusion g 'j 'molding. It is also optional, if desired, to admix the resin with coloring agents, ultraviolet absorbers and the like. Further, the capillary tube prepared by extrusion molding can be subjected to a crosslinking reaction of the resin to have a network structure.
T[he wall thickness of the capillary tube also greatly influences the emission rate of the pheromone compound through i

i i i
I
i i iB d )f 3 i i I i -8the wall so that the thickness should be appropriately selected in consideration of various factors. Usually, the wall thickness should preferably be in the range from 0.1 mm to 2 mm. Capillary tubes having a wall thickness smaller than above can be molded only with an extreme difficulty. Capillary tubes having a too large wall thickness are undersirable due to economical disadvantages.
The pheromone liquid enclosed in the capillary tube of the inventive pheromone dispenser can be a single compound or a mixture of two kinds or more of compounds each having an activity as a sex pheromone of a particular species of insects. It is of course optional according to need that the pheromone liquid is admixed with an antioxidant, ultraviolet absorber, coloring agent and the like.
In the following, particular embodiments of the sustained-release pheromone dispenser of the present invention are described in more detail by way of examples and comparative examples which, however, should not be construed to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
Example 1.
A pheromone dispenser was prepared by filing a capillary tube of high-density polyethylene having a length of 200 mm, inner diameter of 0.9 mm and outer diameter of 1.6 mm with 75 mg of Z-11-tetradecenyl acetate in four portions each in a partitioned section. The liquid columns of the pheromone compound each had a length of 47 mm to give an overall column length of 188 mm I t 4.
Pt I ca 4a 4 -9and the ratio L/S (mm/mm 2 of 74. The thus prepared pheromone dispenser was suspended in an air stream of 0.5 meter/second velocity at 30 °C and the rate of emission per day of the pheromone compound was determined to give the results shown by the solid Sline curve I in Figure 3.
Comparative Example 1.
The same capillary tube as used in Example 1 was filled with 75 mg of Z-11-tetradecenyl acetate without dividing into liquid columns. The length of the liquid colur" was 187 mm to give a ratio L/S in mm/mm 2 of 290. The thus prepared pheromone dispenser was subjected to the determination of the emission rate of the pheromone compound in the same manner as in Example 1 to give the results shown by the broken line curve II in Figure 3. Comparison of the results obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 1 clearly supports the conclusion that the uniformity in the emission rate of the pheromone compound can be greatly improved in the j pheromone dispenser according to the invention described in Example 1 as compared with the conventional pheromone dispenser described in Comparative Example 1.
Example 2.
A phenomone dispenser was prepared by filling a capillary Stube of high-density polyethylene having a length of 120 mm, in- Ser diameter of 1.1 mm and outer diameter of 2.2 mm with 100 mg of Z,Z/E-hexadecadienyl acetate in four portions each in a partitioned section. The liquid columns of the pheromone compound each had a length of 30 mm to give an overall column length of S1 1 120 mm and the ratio L/S in mm/mm 2 of 32. The thus prepared pheromone dispenser was subjected to the determination of the emission rate of the pheromone compound in the same manner as in Examrple 1 to give the results shown by the solid line curve III in Figure 4.
Comparative Example 2.
The same capillary tube as used in Example 2 was filled with 100 mg of Z,Z/E-hexadecadienyl acetate without dividing into liquid columns enclosed each in a partitioned section. The length of the liquid column was 120 mm to give a ratio L/S in mm/mm 2 of 130. The thus prepared pheromone dispenser was subjected to the determination of the emission rate of the pheromone compound in the same manner as in Example 1 to give the results shown by the broken line curve IV in Figure 4, Comparative Example 3.
The same capillary tubes as used in Example 1 were each filled with 70 mg to 90 mg of Z-11-tetradecenyl acetate in several portions each contained in one of the partitioned sections inside the I capillary tube as indicated in Table 1 below. The thus prepared 29 pheromone dispensers were subjected to the determination of the emission rate of the pheromone compound in the same manner as Sin Example 1. The results obtained in the measurements were used to calculate the uniformity in the rate of pheromone emission expressed by B/A, in which A is the average amount of the emitted pheromone compound per day during the period in which the amount of the pheromone compound remaining in the capillary i IS w ll V-11tube was in the range from 80% to 50% of the initial amount and B is the same value during the period in which the amount of the pheromone compound remaining in the capillary tube was in the range from 50% to 30% of the initial amount. The results of the calculation are s,'own in Table 1 together with the overall length of the liquid columns of the pheromone compound EL, overall amount of the pheromone compound contained in a pheromone dispensor W, length of a single liquid column of the pheromone corpound in a partitioned section L, number of the liquid columns enclosed in partitioned sections n and the ratio of L/S, S being 0.64 mm 2 Table 1 also includes the data in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1.
The results summarized in Table 1 supports the conclusion that high unifomity in the emission rate of the pheromone compound can be obtained when the length of each of the liquid col- Sumns does not exceed 60 mm and the ratio of L/S does not exceed 100 mm 4 i l -12- Table 1 L, mm W, mg L, mm n L/S, B/A mm- 1 187 75 187 1 290 0.87 190 77 95 2 150 0.88 225 90 75 3 120 0.88 180 72 60 3 94 0,93 188 75 47 4 74 0.95 200 80 25 8 39 0.97 0 0 09 0B 0 0 1 4% 0'0 Comparative Example 4, Capillary tubes of high-density polyethylene having an inner diameter of 0.6 mm and outer diameter of 1.3 mm were filled each with 44 mg to 50 mg of Z-11-tetradecenyl acetate in several portions each contained in a partitioned section inside the capillary tube as indicated in Table 2 below. The thus prepared pheromone dispensers were subjected to th, determination of the emission rate of the pheromone compound to calculate the uniformity B/A of the emission rate in the same manner as in Comparative Example 3 described above.
