Description

(Z,Z)-2,13-Octadecadienyl Acetate is a high-purity, synthetic pheromone compound with a defined geometric isomerism. This compound is valued for its precise biological activity and serves as a critical component in advanced integrated pest management (IPM) systems. It is primarily required by manufacturers of agricultural and environmental products for the development of species-specific insect attractants and mating disruptors.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: A key active ingredient in pheromone lures and dispensers for monitoring and controlling lepidopteran pests in crops such as fruits, vegetables, and stored grains.
• Mating Disruption Formulations: Used in slow-release formulations (e.g., twist-ties, membrane dispensers) to disrupt insect mating cycles, reducing reliance on broad-spectrum insecticides.
• Research and Development: Serves as a reference standard and synthesis intermediate in entomological research and the development of new semiochemical-based products.
• Environmental Monitoring: Incorporated into traps for population surveillance and biodiversity studies of specific insect species in forestry and ecological research.
