Synthetic Pheromones for Pest Control

Synthetic pheromones for mating disruption for crop protection ––  a more sustainable and safer alternative to protect food supplies without toxic residues. By saturating an environment with synthesized artificial sex pheromones, reproduction can be drastically reduced by preventing male insects from finding female insects. Unlike traditional pesticides, synthesized pheromones are highly species-specific, making them safe for non-target insects.
