From behavior decoding to field application: By studying the host-location behavior of Ectropis grisescens, we developed high-efficiency attractants by creating a blend of herbivore-induced volatiles and floral volatiles. This enables precise and eco-friendly management of tea plantations, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides and promoting sustainable tea production.
