This compound is widely utilized in agriculture as a pheromone for pest control. It acts as a sex attractant for certain insect species, particularly moths, to disrupt their mating patterns. By deploying it in traps or dispensers, it helps monitor and reduce pest populations without the need for conventional pesticides. This approach is environmentally friendly and supports integrated pest management strategies in crops like fruits, vegetables, and grains. Its specificity ensures minimal impact on non-target organisms, making it a sustainable tool in modern farming practices.
