Pheromone traps are an effective biotechnical control method used to attract and monitor pest insects. These traps contain special compounds that mimic the chemical pheromones released by pests. As a result, the target pest species are attracted to the trap and their population density can be monitored.
Pheromone traps are widely used in the management of many pest species, including the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata), grapevine moth (Lobesia botrana), codling moth (Cydia pomonella), tomato leafminer (Tuta absoluta), and cotton leafworm.
