The Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), a major agricultural enemy originating from Peru in western South America, has launched a fierce attack on solanaceous crops such as tomatoes and potatoes. By 2017, it had rampaged in more than 80 countries and regions around the world, becoming the "arch-criminal" of worldwide tomato disasters. When it breaks out severely, the tomato yield loss can be as high as 80% - 100%, which makes the hard work of countless farmers in vain and brings a heavy blow to agricultural production.

In this battle against pests, insect pheromones have become the key to victory. After years of in - depth research, scientists have found that the sex pheromone of the  Tuta absoluta is mainly composed of E3,Z8,Z11-Tetradecatriene acetate (TUTA CAS:163041 - 94 - 9) and 3,8-Tetradecadien-1-ol, acetate, (3E,8Z)- (9CI) (TUDA CAS:163041 - 87 - 0). The two components work together in a perfect ratio of about 90:10. Among them, TUTA has a fatal attraction to male insects, and when mixed with TUDA, this attraction increases exponentially, providing a powerful weapon for precise pest trapping.

Compared with traditional chemical pesticides, pheromone - based pest control has incomparable advantages. It is highly specific and only acts on target pests, never "killing the innocent". It is environmentally friendly, non - toxic, and has no side effects, leaving no harmful residues in the soil or water sources. More importantly, it does not harm the natural enemies of pests, helping to maintain the balance of the ecosystem and making agricultural production return to natural harmony.

In this green agricultural revolution, UDCHEM, with years of intensive efforts in the production of tomato leafminer pheromones, has accumulated rich industry experience. Our products are not only of stable and reliable quality but also have remarkable effects, and have become the trusted choice of agricultural enterprises.CAS:163041-94-9;Tuta Absoluta
