PHEROMONES
LIST OF LURES AND ATRRACTANTS
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in collaboration with Better World Manufacturing Inc., integrates pheromones into its Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs. These naturally derived chemical signals are used to attract and monitor insect pests, improving the precision and effectiveness of SIT efforts. By reducing the need for chemical pesticides, pheromone-based solutions play a vital role in sustainable insect pest management and environmental preservation.
TRIMEDLURE PLUGS
Trimedlure [t-Butyl-2-methyl-4-chlorocyclohexanecarboxylate]
Lure for the Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Ceratitis capitata)
Trimedlure offers a highly effective monitoring program that significantly enhances the precision of pesticide spray timing. By adopting a novel approach to insect control through mating disruption, Trimedlure revolutionizes the management of insect problems. The technique involves saturating a targeted area with female pheromones, thereby impeding the ability of males to locate and mate with females. Through the implementation of Trimedlure, insect pest management strategies are optimized, ensuring more accurate timing of pesticide applications. This innovative solution enables a proactive approach to insect control, minimizing the reliance on broad-spectrum pesticides and reducing potential environmental impacts.
By leveraging the power of mating disruption, Trimedlure not only provides effective insect control but also contributes to sustainable insect pest management practices. This groundbreaking method empowers professionals in the field to proactively address insect infestations while minimizing the use of traditional insecticides. Trimedlure's monitoring program, backed by its unique approach to mating disruption, represents a significant advancement in the field of insect control. By harnessing the potential of female pheromones, it offers a promising solution for addressing insect-related challenges in a targeted, environmentally friendly, and efficient manner.
CUELURE PLUGS
4-(p-Acetoxyphenyl)-2-Butanone
Cuelure plugs serve as highly effective sexual attractants for exotic fruit flies such as Tau-flies and male Bactrocera cucurbitae flies, commonly known as melon flies. These plugs are utilized in Jackson or Multilure™ traps, as well as insect screens, for the purpose of monitoring these insects. By strategically placing cuelure plugs in the designated traps or insect screens, professionals in the field can actively monitor the population and movement of melon flies. The powerful scent emitted by the cuelure plugs acts as a lure, attracting the male flies towards the monitoring devices.
This monitoring approach enables early detection and tracking of melon fly populations, which is crucial for implementing timely and targeted pest management strategies. By accurately gauging the presence and activity levels of these flies, agricultural professionals can make informed decisions regarding the timing and intensity of control measures. The use of cuelure plugs in conjunction with specialized traps or insect screens showcases a proactive and efficient method for monitoring melon flies. This approach not only aids in understanding the dynamics of their population but also facilitates the development of effective strategies to mitigate the potential impact of these pests on crops. Overall, cuelure plugs play a pivotal role in monitoring the sexual behavior and population trends of Bactrocera cucurbitae male flies, providing valuable insights for pest management practitioners in their efforts to safeguard agricultural productivity.
METHYL EUGENOL PLUGS
Eugenol methyl ether, 4-Allyl-1,2-dimethoxybenzene, Eugenyl methyl ether
Methyl eugenol plugs serve as potent sexual attractants specifically designed to lure male flies of the Bactrocera genus. These plugs are employed to facilitate monitoring and control measures targeting these insect species. The unique scent emitted by methyl eugenol plugs acts as a strong attractant for male Bactrocera flies, enticing them to the designated monitoring devices. By strategically placing these plugs in traps or other monitoring systems, agricultural professionals can effectively assess the presence and population dynamics of Bactrocera flies in a given area.
Monitoring the male fly population is of significant importance as it allows for early detection and timely implementation of appropriate pest management strategies. By accurately tracking the activity levels and distribution of Bactrocera flies, agricultural practitioners can make informed decisions regarding the initiation and intensity of control measures. The utilization of methyl eugenol plugs in combination with specialized traps or monitoring systems demonstrates an active and efficient approach to monitoring Bactrocera spp. This method not only facilitates a better understanding of their sexual behavior and population dynamics but also supports the development of targeted and effective pest control strategies. Overall, methyl eugenol plugs play a crucial role in attracting male Bactrocera flies, enabling effective monitoring and control efforts aimed at mitigating the impact of these insects on agricultural crops.
