Description

9E,12Z-Tetradecadien-1-Yl-Acetate is a high-purity, synthetic pheromone compound with the CAS registry number 31654-77-0. This compound is a critical active ingredient for the formulation of advanced insect behavior modification agents, offering a targeted and environmentally responsible pest management solution. It is essential for manufacturers and research institutions in the agricultural technology, biocontrol, and specialty chemical sectors seeking reliable, high-quality pheromone components for integrated pest management (IPM) programs.

Application

• Primary Component in Insect Pheromone Lures: Used as the key attractant in monitoring and mass-trapping systems for specific moth pests in agriculture and forestry.
• Agricultural Pest Management: Integral to mating disruption strategies for protecting high-value crops like fruits, nuts, and vegetables from lepidopteran larvae damage.
• Research and Development: Serves as a standard reference material and active ingredient in entomological research, behavioral studies, and the development of new biocontrol formulations.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a chiral building block or intermediate for the synthesis of more complex pheromone analogs and other fine chemicals.
• Formulation of Biopesticides: Incorporated into slow-release dispensers, sprays, and other delivery systems for commercial biocontrol products.
