Cuelure (CAS 3572-06-3)
QUICK LINKS
Cuelure is a compound that has attention in entomological research, specifically as an attractant for certain species of fruit flies, such as the melon fly (Bactrocera cucurbitae). It is frequently used in studies focusing on the behavior and control of agricultural pests. The application of cuelure in monitoring programs enables researchers to track population dynamics and distribution patterns of targeted insect species. Additionally, it is a critical component in integrated pest management strategies, where it is used in bait traps to capture and study fruit fly populations without the use of pesticides. In ecological studies, cuelure is valuable for understanding the olfactory cues that influence insect behavior and habitat preferences. Furthermore, the compound is often used in research that assesses the efficacy of various trapping methods and the development of more sustainable agricultural practices to minimize crop damage caused by pest species.
