From pheromone TGAIs to finished lures and traps, we support route development, supply and application planning.
We synthesize pheromone active ingredients to customer specifications. The same technical team manages each route from laboratory development and analytical validation through pilot scale-up and production transfer.
The pheromones are loaded into sustained-release carriers through carrier systems such as rubber septa. Some attractants incorporate plant-derived synergists, and the developed formulations are compatible with various types of dispensers.
We help match pheromone lures and traps to the target pest, crop and monitoring objective for forestry, orchard, garden and field applications.
Our core work is multi-step synthesis with control of double-bond geometry (Z/E) and chirality. Custom isomer ratios are available according to customer specifications and technical feasibility.
Species-specific pheromone blends are designed for the target pest. We develop slow-release lures and reusable traps, and specify the release period for each lure product.
From route development to field deployment, we develop the synthesis, supply the active ingredient, and help match the lure, trap and placement to the crop and pest.
Lettuce growers in England faced a warning of substantial aphid pressure in a HortiDaily report published on September 24, 2026. Citing the British Leafy Salads Association (BLSA), the report said aphids could affect 30 percent of lettuces before the season ended in mid-autumn. That figure described a projected risk. It did not establish the final proportion of the crop lost, and it should be read alongside the report’s account of high currant-lettuce aphid populations.
A sequence of Mexican fruit fly detections in residential trees preceded an expansion of the La Mesa quarantine in San Diego County, California. In notice DA-2026-36, dated September 23, 2026, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced the expansion in cooperation with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). The notice described a quarantine covering 173 square miles, including 338.5 acres of commercial agriculture.
We supply formulators, lure brands and distributors with product selection, specification alignment and application support.
Catalog Compounds
Pest Profiles
Production Facilities
Ecophero supplies 240+ catalog insect pheromone compounds linked to 150 pest profiles, together with custom synthesis, lures, traps and application support.
Pheromone lures attract a target pest species to monitor population levels and to support mass trapping or mating disruption, enabling precise, eco-friendly control that protects pollinators and beneficial insects.
Yes. The same technical team manages route development, analytical validation, pilot scale-up and production transfer. Custom isomer ratios are available according to the agreed specification and technical feasibility.
Ecophero delivers IPM solutions for orchards, field crops, forestry and home gardens, covering monitoring, lures, traps and mating disruption dispensers.
Share your contact information to discuss product selection or a custom synthesis project. If a catalog product does not match the agreed specification, our chemistry team can evaluate a custom route and scale-up plan.
