Used in pheromone-based pest control systems, particularly in agriculture to monitor and manage insect populations. It acts as a synthetic analog of natural insect sex pheromones, disrupting mating behaviors of specific moth species. Commonly deployed in traps or dispensers to reduce reliance on broad-spectrum insecticides. Effective in integrated pest management (IPM) programs for crops such as apples, pears, and cotton. Its specificity minimizes impact on non-target organisms and supports organic farming practices.
