MENDEL Chemicals Broadens Its Offerings in Insect Pheromones and Custom Formulations

At MENDEL Chemicals, we are proud to expand our commitment to sustainable agriculture by offering an extended selection of high-purity insect pheromones — a class of semiochemicals that play a crucial role in insect communication and behavior. These compounds are used in monitoring, mass trapping, and mating disruption programs, offering environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional pesticides.

Our portfolio now includes pheromones for a wide range of globally significant pest species, such as:

  • Tuta absoluta (tomato leafminer)

  • Thaumatotibia leucotreta (false codling moth)

  • Cydia pomonella (codling moth)

  • Plutella xylostella (diamondback moth)

  • Ectomyelois ceratoniae (carob moth)

  • Helicoverpa armigera (cotton bollworm)

  • Agrotis segetum (turnip moth)

  • Diabrotica virgifera (western corn rootworm)
    … and many more.

Our offering is not limited to off-the-shelf compounds. We understand that effective pest control requires tailored solutions, especially in different agro-climatic zones where temperature, humidity, crop species, and pest pressure can vary significantly. That’s why MENDEL Chemicals provides: Custom Development Services Region-specific pheromone formulations, optimized for local pest biotypes and climate conditions Controlled-release systems, based on desired pheromone emission rates, target insect species, and application method Design and formulation of dispenser concepts, whether for passive or active release — including materials selection, geometry, and release kinetics modeling Development of sprayable pheromones for use in large-scale mating disruption programs Consulting and support for PPP registration, including the preparation of technical dossiers in compliance with national and international regulatory frameworks Why Choose MENDEL Chemicals?
