(Z)-11-Tetradecenyl acetate

(Z)-11-Tetradecenyl acetate is a key component of pheromones for various noctuid pests (such as the armyworm and the beet armyworm), synthesized and released by female-specific glands to attract males of the same species to complete mating behaviour. It has currently been developed into a standardised lure through artificial synthesis techniques and is widely used in pest monitoring and mating disruption control systems in field crops and vegetable production areas. By precisely regulating insect reproductive behaviours, it significantly reduces pesticide usage, becoming a crucial technological means that combines efficiency and environmental friendliness in agricultural green pest management.
