Used primarily as a pheromone component in pest control, this chemical helps disrupt mating behaviors of certain insect species, particularly moths. It is employed in agricultural settings to manage pest populations in an environmentally friendly way by reducing the need for conventional insecticides. The compound is released into the environment via dispensers or traps, interfering with insect communication and thereby suppressing reproduction. It is especially effective in orchards, vineyards, and other high-value crops where targeted pest management is crucial.
