Used primarily as a pheromone in pest monitoring and control programs. It is effective in attracting specific insect species, particularly certain moths, making it valuable in integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. Deployed in traps to monitor population levels, detect early infestations, and reduce reliance on broad-spectrum insecticides. Its high specificity minimizes impact on non-target organisms and supports sustainable agriculture practices. Commonly applied in orchards, forests, and croplands for mating disruption techniques to suppress pest reproduction.
