25年前,发现雌虫具有引诱雄虫兴奋的物质,命名为诱烯醇.此后,又在多种昆虫上发现类似物质,这些激素不仅诱发性兴奋,还支配昆虫的各种行动.一旦了解其化学构造,通过人工合成,则可用来防除害虫.美国已成功应用在棉红铃虫的防治上.目前,日本正在研究利用信息素防除茶叶主要害虫,本文以茶卷叶蛾和茶小卷叶蛾为例. Twenty-five years ago, it was found that the female had a substance that induced the male’s excitement and named it tempuralenol, after which it found similar substances on various insects that not only induced excitement but also dominated insect behavior. Its chemical structure, through synthetic, can be used to control pests. The United States has been successfully used in the control of cotton bollworm. At present, Japan is studying the use of pheromones against major pests tea, tea leaf roller and tea leaf roller moth as an example .
