Used primarily as a pheromone in pest management, this compound plays a key role in monitoring and controlling insect populations, especially in agricultural settings. It is effective in attracting specific insect species, such as certain moths, making it valuable in integrated pest management (IPM) programs. Deployed in traps, it helps detect pest presence, determine optimal timing for pesticide applications, and reduce overall chemical usage. Its specificity minimizes impact on non-target organisms, supporting eco-friendly farming practices.
