Enormous number of pheromones are known with which one sex of an
insect species attracts its mates. Many of these sex attractants or
their close chemical relatives are now available commercially. They
have proved to be useful weapons against insect pests in two ways:
- Male Confusion
Distributing a sex attractant throughout an area masks the
insect's own attractant and thus may prevent the sexes getting
together. This "communication disruption" has been used
successfully against a wide variety of important pests. For
example, the sex attractant of the cotton boll weevil has reduced
the need for conventional chemical insecticides by more than half
in some cotton-growing areas.
- Insect Monitoring
Insect sex attractants are also valuable in monitoring pest
populations. By baiting traps with the appropriate pheromone, a
build-up of the pest population can be spotted early. Even if a
conventional insecticide is the weapon chosen, its early use
reduces
- the amount needed
- damage to the crop
- cost to the grower
- possible damage to the environment.
Early detection of pest build-up is a key ingredient in the
system known as integrated pest management (IPM).
