Organic chemist Dr. Smith developed the chemical to attract beetles into the trap before it went into the grain storage. Like most pheromone beetles, pheromone beetles are hard to make. This is an important finding because beetle beetle is one of the most resistant species in the world. Beetle beetles are becoming resistant. This rust pheromone trap can help capture the beetle and provide a simple field test to determine the level of resistance to phosphine. Then fumigants can adjust the dosage of phosphine. Phosphine will still kill all stages of insect life if the correct dose is applied.
There are two compounds that insects use to signal each other that scientists want to synthesize. This Pheromone will attract both men and women. Dr. Smith said: “The month-long primer is currently being tested across the country as a ‘discovery tool.’ Pheromone, created in a lab on the outskirts of Brisbane, is being tested. Dr Smith said, “Attract rust beetles into traps, rather than sterilizing them with high doses of phosphine, may have Important implication for international trade. Since phosphine is showing a high level of resistance and it has properties that affect our cereal, we must assume that it is good to have an alternate option and that this pheromone may be a viable option. heavy.
Insects Limited is currently testing this pheromone. There will be much discussion of this new discovery at the 12th Fumigants & Pheromones Conference in Adelaide, South Australia.
