Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a crop growing in popularity due to its high protein and mineral content,health benefits and gluten-free characteristics. In Canada, market demand has led to rapidly increasingcultivation of quinoa well beyond its traditional range, and the growth of the Northern Quinoa Corporation.Concurrent with this increased propagation and production, NorQuin and associated quinoa producers haveencountered increasing pest pressures, particularly from the goosefoot groundling moth, Scrobipalpaatriplicella. This pest attacks stems of plants in early season, and seeds later in the year, producing twofoldlosses in production and making products unmarketable. Heavily infested fields in Saskatchewan haveexperienced up to 100% crop losses. For NorQuin to better monitor and manage this pest species this projectwill identify the naturally-occurring female sex pheromone of S. atricplicella for development of apheromone-based trap monitoring system. By having such tools in place, we can develop reduced-riskstrategies for management of this pest species while minimizing application of insecticides.

藜（藜）是一种受欢迎的作物，由于其高蛋白质和矿物质含量，健康益处和无麸质特性。在加拿大，市场需求导致藜麦种植迅速增加，远远超出其传统范围，并导致北方藜麦公司的发展。在繁殖和生产增加的同时，NorQuin和相关的藜麦生产商遇到了越来越多的害虫压力，特别是来自鹅足地面蛾Scrobipalpaatriplicella的压力。这种害虫在早季袭击植物的茎，在晚些时候袭击种子，造成生产上的双重损失，使产品无法销售。萨斯喀彻温省的严重虫害地区已经经历了高达100%的作物损失。为了更好地监测和管理这种害虫，本项目确定了自然发生的雌性信息素。用于开发基于信息素的诱捕器监测系统。有了这些工具，我们就可以制定降低风险的策略来管理这种害虫，同时最大限度地减少杀虫剂的使用。
