Description

Lycopersilure CAS NO 72269-48-8 is a highly specific insect pheromone compound. This compound is critical for integrated pest management (IPM) programs, offering a targeted, environmentally friendly alternative to broad-spectrum insecticides. It is primarily utilized by agricultural producers and research institutions involved in the cultivation and protection of solanaceous crops, particularly tomatoes.

Application

• Tomato Pinworm (Keiferia lycopersicella) Control: Core application for mating disruption and monitoring in commercial tomato greenhouses and open-field operations.
• Pest Population Monitoring: Used in lure traps to accurately track pest infestation levels and determine optimal intervention timing.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Programs: A key component in sustainable agriculture strategies to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides.
• Agricultural Research: Employed in entomological studies concerning insect behavior, ecology, and the development of novel control methods.
• Formulation of Pheromone Products: Serves as the active ingredient in the manufacture of dispensers, sprays, and other pheromone-based control products.

Quality Control

Our Lycopersilure is produced and tested to ensure high chemical purity and biological activity, which are essential for effective pest control. Quality is verified through analytical methods including Gas Chromatography (GC) and GC-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to confirm identity and isomeric purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific purity, typically exceeding 95%, is provided with each shipment to guarantee performance in your applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a freezer at -20°C to -10°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize oxidation and volatilization. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
