Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

trans-β-Farnesene is a volatile sesquiterpene hydrocarbon that has been found in aphids and has alarm pheromone and kairomonal attractant activities. It is produced by aphids in response to predator or parasite attack. trans-β-Farnesene induces dispersion of 50% of M. persicae aphids from a cluster. trans-β-Farnesene also acts as a kairomone, attracting larvae and adults of A. bipunctata, a predator of aphids.
