Trimedlure(CAT: M051551) is a synthetic chemical attractant, primarily used as a pheromone lure for trapping and monitoring Mediterranean fruit flies (Ceratitis capitata), a significant agricultural pest. It functions by mimicking the natural pheromones of the male flies, effectively attracting them to traps, which helps in population control and monitoring efforts in pest management programs. Trimedlure is highly effective in integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, particularly in fruit orchards, helping to reduce the need for broad-spectrum pesticides. Its role in environmentally friendly pest control makes it a valuable tool in agricultural research and crop protection.
