Studies on pheromones are now gaining increasing popularity among scientists. On October 28, 2022, the US-based chemical supplier Alfa Chemistry announced that the company commenced offering aldehyde-functionalized pheromones for researchers worldwide. It should be noted that alcohol-functionalized pheromones, another type of pheromones released earlier this year, have been well-received and well-recognized among its customers after entering the market. Therefore, Alfa Chemistry decided to accelerate efforts toward a more diversified offering of specialty chemicals.
Insect pheromone refers to compounds secreted by insects and serves as the chemical language for insect communication. Moreover, insect pheromones are essential tools to monitor and manage pests of agricultural crops.
"Up till now, thousands of synthetic pheromones have been commercialized and found use in insect trapping, insect forecasting, and pesticide research and development," said the Marketing Chief of Alfa Chemistry. "Aldehyde-functionalized pheromones are widely used in the development of biological pesticides, trapping and fascination of pests, tracking of insect traces, etc."

About Insect Pheromone Applications
Insect pheromone can help foresee the occurrence period and amount of pests, which is more sensitive, labor-saving, and money-saving than the Blacklight Trap method. When used in combination with other chemical sterilization agents, viruses, and bacteria, pheromones can achieve better pesticide management effects. Nevertheless, parapheromone can be used to regulate the activity of natural pheromone through artificial design and synthesis.
