Описание

In a sustainable agriculture community, pheromone-based products have been used as low-risk alternatives to conventional pesticides. A pesticide is defined as any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest according to federal and state law. A pheromone used for mating disruption is classified as a pesticide because it prevents the pest from being able to mate, thus reducing or eliminating its propagation. The products may be applied either by ground or by air, depending on the size and geographic extent of the infestation. Pheromone dispensers used to manage coddling moth worldwide have been registered since 1991 in the United States.

Экологическая судьба

Naturally occurring pheromones are ubiquitous in the environment and not considered to be air pollutants. Pesticide products containing synthetic pheromones are used in a wide variety of places where plants grow, such as agricultural and residential sites and forests. There are general guidance and determinations provided by US EPA regarding environmental fate and behavior. However, the actual environmental behavior of a particular pheromone depends on specific climate condition and usage, which can vary by product design, site characteristics, and application method.
