The alarm pheromones are known for many species of aphids, and methods of using the synthetic pheromone to improve control of aphids by contact insecticides and biological agents have been devised. Highly active analogs have been prepared and plant-derived synergists identified. Laboratory studies on compounds obtained by chemical modification of the alarm pheromone and antifeedants derived from non-host plants have led to successful field trials against aphid-borne virus diseases in crops. Strategies for biotechnological production of aphid semiochemicals are described. The sex pheromones for a number of aphids have recently been identified. Further studies on the production, perception, and interspecific attraction of the pheromone components are described and possible uses for the sex pheromone are discussed.
警报信息素在许多蚜虫物种中是已知的，并且已经设计出利用合成信息素来改善接触杀虫剂和生物制剂对蚜虫的控制的方法。已经制备了高活性类似物，并鉴定了植物来源的增效剂。通过对警报信息素的化学修饰和非寄主植物来源的抗食剂获得的化合物的实验室研究，导致了在作物上成功地进行了针对蚜虫传播病毒病的田间试验。描述了用于生物技术生产蚜虫信息素的策略。一些蚜虫的性信息素最近已经被确定。进一步描述了对性信息素成分的产生、感知和种间吸引力的研究，并讨论了性信息素的可能用途。
