Description

Mating Pheromone Er-10 CAS NO 120852-74-6 is a specialized semiochemical compound designed for targeted pest management in agriculture. This product matters because it provides an effective, species-specific, and environmentally responsible method for monitoring and controlling insect populations by disrupting their mating cycles. It is primarily needed by agricultural producers, integrated pest management (IPM) specialists, and manufacturers of biocontrol products seeking to reduce reliance on broad-spectrum chemical pesticides. Its high purity and consistent quality are critical for field efficacy and reliable results.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Monitoring: Used in lure traps for the detection, population monitoring, and forecasting of specific Lepidopteran pest species.
• Mating Disruption Programs: Deployed in dispensers across crop fields to saturate the air with pheromone, preventing male insects from locating females and thereby reducing mating success.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM): A core component of sustainable IPM strategies, allowing for targeted intervention and reduced insecticide use.
• Mass Trapping: Employed in high-density trap setups to physically remove a significant portion of the male pest population from the environment.
• Research and Development: Serves as a standard in entomological research for studying insect behavior, physiology, and ecology.
• Formulation of Biocontrol Products: Used as the active ingredient in the manufacture of commercial pheromone-based mating disruption products, sprays, and aerosols.

Quality Control

Our Mating Pheromone Er-10 is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high biological activity. Every lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and GC-MS for isomer confirmation and identification of impurities. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all specification results. Our quality commitment aligns with standards relevant to agricultural active ingredients.

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 in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials.
