The study presents a new strategy of synthesis of the pine-tree lappet moth sex pheromone via hydrolysis of the (5Z,7E)-1,1-diethoxy-5,7-dodecadiene (propheromone) and their using in biological tests with pheromone traps. The field trials showed that a sticky delta traps with propheromone at dose of 2.4 mg was the most suitable for monitoring of the population of the pine tree lappet moth.
