The Controlled Release of Insect Pheromones From Biobased Thermoplastic Compounds for Sustainable Pest Management (Adv. Sustainable Syst. 11/2026)
Controlled Pheromone Release for Sustainable Insect Pest Control Biodegradable, thermoplastic ethyl cellulose compounds can serve as slow-release carriers for insect pheromones, enabling a homogeneous distribution across agricultural fields. In Research Article e70627 by Christoph Hellmann and co-workers demonstrate linear laboratory and field release profiles, alongside accelerated testing protocols for rapid development of mating-disruption materials.
