Tetradec-13-en-1-ol is primarily used in the field of pest management as a pheromone component. It acts as a semiochemical, playing a role in insect communication, particularly in attracting certain moth species. Due to this property, it is formulated into lures and traps for monitoring and controlling agricultural pests. Its application helps reduce reliance on broad-spectrum insecticides by enabling targeted pest detection and mating disruption strategies. This makes it valuable in integrated pest management (IPM) programs, especially for protecting crops such as fruits and vegetables.
