Description

Melon fly pheromone lures are designed to attract and trap male melon flies (Bactrocera cucurbitae), harmful fruit flies that damage fruits and vegetables. These lures emit a synthetic version of the female melon fly’s sex pheromone, a chemical signal used by females to attract males for mating. By mimicking this pheromone, the lures effectively capture male melon flies, offering an environmentally friendly strategy to monitor and control pest populations in agriculture.
