Alfa Chemistry - Insect Pheromones for Pest Control

Insect Pheromones for Pest Control : Sex pheromones are chemical substances that are secreted in vitro by the special secretory organs of individual insects, which can be received by the receptors of individuals of the same heterosexual species and cause certain behavioral responses or physiological effects in individuals. Sex pheromones can prevent male insects from mating, and can also reduce the number of pests by concentrating male pests in traps. Mass-trapping and mating disruption with sex pheromones have been commonly used in pest control.
