The intensive use of insecticides can result in environmental pollution and adverse effects on human health due to the issue of insecticide residue in the environment. To mitigate this, various control techniques, including cultural, biological, and biotechnical methods, or their combinations, can be employed to manage invasive species. One such biotechnical method that has become popular is the use of pheromones. Pheromone techniques enable early pest detection, population monitoring, mass trapping or annihilation, and mating disruption. To maximize their effectiveness, it is important to determine the exact pheromone component, optimization rate, trap design, and saturation rate for each species. In conclusion, implementing these different pheromone-based strategies is essential for providing effective pest management strategies that take regional variations in pheromones into account. |
