(Z)-8-Tetradecen-1-ol acetate is a component of the sex pheromone isolated from certain lepidopteran insects, such as the codling moth (Cydia pomonella) and oriental fruit moth (Grapholita molesta). It is widely used in pest management programs to monitor and control these agricultural pests. When combined with other pheromone components like (E,E)-8,10-dodecadien-1-ol (codlemone), it forms a multi-component attractant that significantly enhances trapping efficiency. In apple orchards, traps baited with this blend can capture 20-40 male moths per day, improving monitoring accuracy by over 60% compared to traditional light traps.
