The response of individual male Asian corn borer moth was observed in a wind tunnel to various binary and ternary blends and dosages of synthetic sex pheromones, tetradecyl acetate. (E)‐12‐te‐tradecenyl acetate and (Z)‐12‐tetradecenyl acetate. Lures containing two components (Z+E) blends elicit the highest behavioral responses at ratios in the scope of 37. 5% E to 62. 5% E and there was no significant difference in this scope according to source contact step. The highest responses to the lures of three components are observed at ratio 1 : 5 : 4 (14 : Ac/Z/E), which have no significant difference to the best lures of two components. But dose‐response shows that the ternary blend has a wider response scope than the binary blend. The ternary blend can elicit behavioral response at dosage even as low as Ing, but the binary blend can not at the same dosage. The highest response scope is 100 to 1 000 ng for the binary blend and 100 to 10 000 ng for the ternary blend.
