Used as a key component in pheromone-based pest management systems, particularly for monitoring and controlling insect populations such as the peach twig borer and other moth species. It functions by mimicking the natural sex pheromone of female insects, disrupting mating behavior when deployed in traps or dispensers. This reduces the need for conventional insecticides, supporting integrated pest management (IPM) and organic farming practices. Commonly applied in orchards, vineyards, and agricultural fields to protect crops with minimal environmental impact.
