Application

Dodecyl acetate is a sex pheromone component found in various moth species, such as the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella), where it is emitted by females to attract males. In practical applications, it is often blended with other compounds like dodecenyl acetate in specific ratios to form multi-component lures. These are widely used for field monitoring and eco-friendly control of pest populations, with single traps capturing over 30 male moths per day, significantly improving surveillance efficiency compared to conventional methods.
