Used primarily in the agricultural sector as a key component in pheromone-based pest control systems. It functions as a sex attractant for certain insect species, particularly moths, helping to monitor or reduce pest populations in crops. Integrated into traps and dispensers, this compound enables targeted disruption of mating patterns, reducing the need for broad-spectrum insecticides. Its application supports sustainable farming practices by promoting environmentally friendly, non-toxic pest management strategies. Also utilized in research settings to study insect behavior and population dynamics.
