Coconut plants have a strategic position because they have various benefits.

Semiochemical substances greatly influence this interaction in plants and pests. The plant emits a odors that attracts pests.

摘要

Coconut plants have a strategic position because they have various benefits. Like other plants, coconuts also have their own herbivores and interaction mechanisms between plants, herbivores, and predators. Semiochemical substances greatly influence this interaction in plants and pests. The plant emits a odors that attracts pests. On the other hand, plants also emit help signals when attacked by pests to attract predators. Members of a species emit pheromonesPheromones to cause certain interactions with other members. Depending on the interactions they mediate, pheromonesPheromones can be further categorized as alarm, aggregation, or sex pheromonesPheromones. Recent developments in chemical ecology allow pheromonesPheromones to mass-trapping coconut pests, mating disruption, and volatility medication monitoring. The use of pheromonesPheromones in pest control is based on manipulating insect behavior without causing damage to other organisms. Despite many limitations, pheromonePheromones-based strategies remain a valuable tool in integrated pest management in coconut plantations, helping to reduce pest populations and reducing damage to crops. Considering that using pheromonesPheromones is the future of environmentally friendly control on coconut plantations worldwide, research related to applying pheromonesPheromones or basic research on volatile compounds synthesized by target pests and even plants needs to be deepened.
