COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING EUCALYPTOL AND/OR OCIMENE AND/OR FARNESOL FOR USE AS BUMBLEBEE PHEROMONES

摘要

Compositions comprising eucalyptol and/or ocimene and/or farnesol are provided for use as bumblebee pheromones. The compositions are useful in agriculture to assist in the pollination of angiosperm plant species. Such compositions can attract insects of the genus Bombus (bumblebee) to angiosperm plants where the composition is applied to the plant, or to the environment of the plant.
