Research Advances on Synthesis of Sex Pheromone of Bollworm and Tobacco Budworm
Bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) and tobacco budworm (Heliothis assulta) are important agricultural pests.Sex pheromones are used in pest population monitoring as green bio-pesticides to reduce the use of pesticides.Therefore,the chemical synthesis of sex pheromone of bollworm is widely concerned by chemists.In this paper,the chemical synthesis of two main sex pheromone components ofbollworm was reviewed.
