## Abstract Pheromone biosynthesis in the redbanded leafroller moth, __Argyrotaenia velutinana__, was stimulated by homogenates of the bursa copulatrix. Although pheromonotropic activity was also extractable from the ovary, the activity of pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN) or bu
