Insect Pheromone Research and Control
Insect Pheromone Research and Control is a research topic within Insect Science. Science Explorer counts 13k research works in it since 1950. 10.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the use of insect pheromones, chemical ecology, and odor source localization in pest management. It explores the behavior of Lepidopteran insects, the use of sex attractants, and the application of mobile robot navigation for odor source localization. Additionally, it discusses the potential of mass trapping and chemical plume tracing in the context of pest management.
