Garcia, Aceyork Behavioral Control Disturb the normal behavior of male insects so that they cannot find female hence interfering with mating Dispense a large amount of sex pheromone within the crop Monitoring with attractant Food attractant can also be used for monitoring pest. In horticulture, the technique is widely used to monitor fruit flies . In case , food baits are used in traps to attract insect and pest. Pheromones are widely used in pest monitoring due to the specificity Food Attractant

Mating Disruption This method consist of distribution a large amount of synthetic pheromones in the field, aiming to prevent the male to find a female, disrupting mating. Therefore, new pest generation do not occur on treated area. Push and Pull Strategy Insect control methods exploiting natural chemical messenger, collectively semino chemicals, are becoming increasingly familiar Used to controlling agricultural pest by using repellant push plant and trap pull plants.

Advantages Reduce the amount of toxic chemicals Restricting its application to a much smaller area Reduce cost Reducing hazard by blanket pesticide treatments Disadvantages No further test or field trails of this method possibly reflecting no concerns over the use of pathogen generally. The pathogens used were too species specific, rendering them ineffective in storage environments where a number of different pest species are often present. Thank’s for Listening.
