Ecobertura’s pheromones
The pheromones are the insect odor language to communicate among other members of the same species. Since the isolation of the first pheromone from the silk moth on the late 50´s, Bombyx mori, hundreds of pheromones have been characterized. The idea of controlling plagues with environment friendly compounds and acting specifically on the specie of interest are the main purpose of using pheromones. Besides, the regular use of them opens the possibility to understand an insect population dynamic over the year, their geographic distribution and presence of hot spots on the crop.
