Straight chain lepidopteran pheromone
Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-026906
SCLPs are naturally occurring, or if synthesized, structurally and functionally identical to naturally occurring pheromones produced by moths and butterflies that are chemically characterized by a long, straight chain of fatty acids, between 9 and 18 carbons in length, containing up to three double bonds and ending in an alcohol, aldehyde, or acetate functional group. These compounds are exempt from the requirement of a tolerance when applied to growing crops at a rate up to 150 grams of active ingredient per acre per year. The (extremely low) toxicity of these types of chemicals is well-known and toxicity data is normally waived.
