Description

Serricornin is a high-purity pheromone compound, specifically (4E,6E,10E)-4,6,10-dodecatrien-1-ol, with the CAS registry number 72522-40-8. This compound serves as a critical active ingredient in advanced integrated pest management (IPM) systems, offering a species-specific and environmentally responsible alternative to broad-spectrum insecticides. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the agricultural technology, specialty chemicals, and biocontrol sectors for the formulation of effective mating disruption products.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: As the primary sex pheromone of the cigarette beetle (Lasioderma serricorne), it is the key component in mating disruption dispensers and lures for monitoring and controlling infestations in stored tobacco, grains, and dried food products.
• Stored Product Protection: Formulated into slow-release devices for protecting warehouses, food processing facilities, and retail stores from cigarette beetle damage.
• Research & Development: Used as a reference standard in entomological research, behavioral studies, and the development of new pheromone-based control strategies.
• Biocontrol Product Manufacturing: Supplied to formulators for the production of commercial pheromone traps, tapes, and aerosol formulations used in IPM programs.
• Quality Control & Monitoring: Employed in the calibration of analytical equipment and as a benchmark for ensuring the efficacy of commercial pheromone blends.
