(S)-cis-Verbenol

(S)-cis-Verbenol, as a key component of the aggregation pheromone of pine weevils (such as the spruce bark beetle), is released by infested pine trees or synthesised by males to attract conspecifics for aggregation and reproduction. It has been developed into an efficient attractant through asymmetric synthesis technology and is widely used in the monitoring and management systems for pine forest pests. By mimicking natural pheromone signals, it effectively attracts weevils to trapping devices, demonstrating significant population control effects and ecological compatibility in integrated pest management in forestry.
