aPhinity Hexenol

Enhanced Emerald Ash Borer Detection and Monitoring

aPhinity Hexenol is a pouch lure based on the green leaf volatile, 3Z-Hexenol, a naturally occurring compound associated with stressed host trees. Developed to support Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis) monitoring programs, it enhances trap attractiveness and improves the detection of EAB populations in forestry and urban tree environments.

Designed for use alongside pheromone lures such as aPhinity EAB, aPhinity Hexenol helps increase trap captures and improve monitoring sensitivity, particularly in areas where pest populations are low and early detection is critical. By strengthening surveillance programs, it supports forestry professionals, municipalities, researchers, and land managers in making informed management decisions before significant tree damage occurs.

Supporting Plant Performance

Emerald Ash Borer

(Agrilus planipennis)

Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive beetle responsible for the decline and loss of millions of ash trees across North America. Adult beetles locate suitable host trees using a combination of visual cues, pheromones, and volatile compounds released by stressed ash trees. This ability to identify weakened hosts allows populations to establish and spread before obvious symptoms become visible. Detecting low-density infestations remains one of the greatest challenges in EAB management. Monitoring tools that mimic natural attractants can significantly improve surveillance efforts by increasing trap captures during the adult flight period. Enhanced monitoring helps forestry professionals identify new infestations earlier, track pest distribution, and support proactive management programs aimed at protecting valuable ash tree resources.
