Abstract
This revision covers the agriculture system, the losses due to insect pest, the pheromone definition and how they can be deployed. Specially, this work focus in pheromones from stink bug Euschistus heros. The use of different techniques for pest control in agriculture seeks safety and environmental preservation. The stink bug E. heros is one of the major pests that affects crops in Brazil. This insect releases pheromone to mate in low amounts. A promising and efficient alternative for the detection of this volatile compound is the use of nanosensors. This paper provides a review of the most recent works in nanosensors used for detection insect pheromones, including gas sensors with sensitive coatings in nanoscale. Also, other applications of gas nanosensors in pheromone detection in agriculture are described. Nanosensors are potential solutions for pest management and can contribute to developing innovative and technological solutions for agriculture.
期刊介绍:
Sensors and Actuators Reports is a peer-reviewed open access journal launched out from the Sensors and Actuators journal family. Sensors and Actuators Reports is dedicated to publishing new and original works in the field of all type of sensors and actuators, including bio-, chemical-, physical-, and nano- sensors and actuators, which demonstrates significant progress beyond the current state of the art. The journal regularly publishes original research papers, reviews, and short communications.
For research papers and short communications, the journal aims to publish the new and original work supported by experimental results and as such purely theoretical works are not accepted.
