What is pheromone chemistry?Pheromone chemistry is the substance that takes away female insects for attraction, the male attracts the insects. The purpose of this new invention is to protect those plants from insects, which have very high prices in the market. 'Sexy plants' will be developed through this technique.
Sasfire ProjectTo prepare the plants, it will be developed as a project. This project has been named 'Sassafair'. Plants will be developed in such a way that they can make pheromones. According to a BBC report, a member of the plan and researcher Vicente Navarro at Polytechnic University in Valencia said, "It can be an extremely effective way to save the crop." When pheromones are produced in large amounts, then the male worms become disturbed and they can not find female insects, which is why there is a decrease in reproduction of these insects.

This technique is expensiveAccording to Navarro, this technique is already being used but it costs a lot. Navarons said that its price sometimes reaches 23 thousand dollars to 35 thousand dollars and sometimes up to 117 thousand dollars. This means that the cost is too high to protect crops from insects.
How to kill insectsScientists from Spain, Germany, Slovenia and Britain are working on the Sassafair Project So far insecticide is used to save the crop. The worms will be taken away from the crop through the Sasafair project and then they will be eliminated. In this way pesticide will not be used in any crop. Outside the place where the crop has been planted, such plants will be planted that can attract the insects on their side and die as soon as they sit on them. These plants will be named 'sexy plants'.
Five Years to Build PlantsAccording to Navarro, 'we have succeeded in making pheromones through' nicotiana benthamiana 'type plant. Now we have a question whether we can succeed in making it in some more normal types of plants. At present, the Sasfire project has been set for three years. After this, it will be assessed how much different companies show interest in this project. At the moment, it will take five years to complete. They believe that 'sexy plants' will bring a major change in the world of pesticides.
