The analysis of pheromone glands from individual females of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), originating in South Moravia and Slovakia showed that this population utilizes the ''Z'' pheromone system. The ratio of (Z)- and (E)-11-tetradecenyl acetates was found in the range of 98.5:1.5-99.5:0.5. Field experiments confirmed the identity of the local population as being predominantly of the Z strain. Individuals responding to E and hybrid blends were detected.
