Περίληψη:	Background: Cornus officinalis is an important Chinese medicinal herb with high economic value. Carposina coreana Kim (Lepidoptera: Carposinidae) is a severe fruit-boring pest that inflicts devastating damage on C. officinalis. There is an urgent need to develop attractants to monitor and control this pest. Results: Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-electroantennogram detection (GC-EAD), we identified (Z)-7-eicosen-11-one and (Z)-7-tricosene as the female-produced sex pheromone components of C. coreana to attract its conspecific males. Field experiments showed that rubber septa dispenser baited with a blend of 1000 μg (Z)-7-eicosen-11-one and 500 μg (Z)-7-tricosene is the optimal lure formulation for attracting the male moths. Further experiments revealed that the most efficient traps are green Delta sticky traps, hung at 1.5-2.0 m aboveground from tree branches and ≈15-20 m from the forest edge. Finally, we validated the trap effectiveness in a 2-month monitoring survey conducted in three major C. officinalis production regions, and the identity of the captured insects was confirmed by DNA barcoding. Conclusion: We identified the sex pheromone components of C. coreana, which provide technical support for the monitoring and control of this pest. Our findings establish a foundation for developing sustainable pest management strategies to improve C. officinalis production. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
