Application

Tetradecyl acetate is a sex pheromone component isolated from female moths such as the summer fruit tortrix (Adoxophyes orana) and the codling moth (Cydia pomonella). It is widely used in agricultural pest management by disrupting mating through confusion techniques. When blended in specific ratios (e.g., 6:4) with other pheromone components like 8-dodecenyl acetate, it effectively reduces male orientation and mating success, decreasing oviposition by up to 70% in apple orchards and tea plantations.
