In pest management, these semiochemicals used mainly to modulate the behaviour of target pest, wherein development resistance in pests is almost absent. recent past, sex pheromones have been employed management through a novel technique, Specialized Pheromone Lure Application Technology (SPLAT). It technology that lowers reproduction by preventing mating, attracting killing insect, repelling it. The wax-based product SPLAT disrupts mating due prolonged release over time period two weeks six months. Keywords: Semiochemicals. pheromone, SPLAT, disruption, pesticide
