(E)-tetradec-12-enyl acetate is a synthetically produced insect pheromone that serves as a sex attractant for various lepidopteran pests. It is particularly effective as a lure for the peach twig borer (Anarsialineatella). In agricultural settings, it is commonly used in traps to monitor pest populations and disrupt mating, providing an environmentally friendly method for pest control. Its specific application makes it a vital tool in integrated pest management.
