ABSTRACT The different avenues , strategies and potential exploitation for the employment of semiochemicais in pest management are discussed. These avenues are monitoring mass - trapping , disrupting mating of pests and improving the efficiency of conventional insecticides without damaging the environment . In some cases semiochemicals can enhance the reproduction and activities of predators. Although the use of such chemicais in some case.s,shows promise for controlling pests and minimizing the environmental impact of insecticides, their implement in pest management still requires further investigations. |
