We study high-order harmonic generation from atoms in bichromatic laser fields numerically and analytically. With the weak increase of the second harmonic field, the calculated odd and even HHG spectra differ remarkably from each other in some energy regions. Our analyses reveal that the interference of two neighboring quantum orbits plays an important role in this phenomenon. In particular, we show that with a trajectory-resolved approach, the emission of odd or even harmonics can be effectively controlled in a wide HHG energy region. Our results suggest a potential approach for generating even-harmonic-dominating attosecond pulse.
