Application (9Z)-Hexadecenal is one of the core components of the sex pheromone of the cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), a globally significant migratory agricultural pest that primarily damages cotton, corn, tomatoes, and other cash crops. As a key chemical signaling molecule released by female moths, (9Z)-hexadecenal forms a species-specific olfactory trail in the air to precisely attract conspecific males for mating—a characteristic that makes it an indispensable tool in pest monitoring and intervention.
