Description

Mating Pheromone Er-1 CAS NO 118337-10-3 is a specialized semiochemical compound designed for targeted pest management in agricultural systems. This product matters as it provides an effective, species-specific, and environmentally responsible alternative to broad-spectrum chemical insecticides. It is primarily needed by agricultural producers, integrated pest management (IPM) consultants, and manufacturers of biocontrol products seeking to disrupt the mating cycles of key lepidopteran pests.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: Core component in mating disruption programs for key moth pests in orchards, vineyards, and field crops.
• IPM Strategy Implementation: Used in pheromone traps for monitoring pest population levels and determining optimal treatment timing.
• Mass Trapping: Formulated into dispensers or traps to directly capture male moths, reducing successful mating.
• Attract-and-Kill Systems: Combined with a contact insecticide in specialized formulations to lure and eliminate target pests.
• Behavioral Research: Employed in entomological studies to understand insect communication, host-finding, and reproductive biology.
• Biocontrol Product Manufacturing: Serves as an active ingredient for formulators producing commercial pheromone-based pest management solutions.

Quality Control

Our Mating Pheromone Er-1 is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high biological activity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm the precise isomeric ratio critical for efficacy. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer composition, and identity are provided and available upon request, supporting your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C or as specified on the label. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to air, heat, or light should be avoided. Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
