This chemical is primarily used as a pheromone in pest management strategies, particularly in agriculture. It acts as a sex attractant for certain insect species, such as the grape berry moth, to disrupt mating patterns and control pest populations. By deploying it in traps or dispensers, farmers can monitor and reduce infestations without relying heavily on conventional pesticides, promoting more sustainable farming practices. Additionally, it is utilized in research studies to better understand insect behavior and develop eco-friendly pest control solutions.
