Title : Synthesis and application of insect Phermone for pest management
Abstract:
Provivi™ is an emerging agricultural biotech company employing insect pheromones as the basis for comprehensive pest management. Insect pheromones are chemicals that act as highly selective attractants for insects, enabling the management of harmful pests without harming advantageous insects. These substances provide non-lethal, species-specific insect control through disrupting mating cycles, leading to decreased pest populations and a significant reduction in crop destruction and losses while preserving beneficial insects. Herein, we present our inventive method for synthesizing pheromone active ingredients from sustainable plant oils through green chemistry. This approach significantly reduces waste while maintaining high selectivity.
