The scientific foundation

A signal is moving
through the field.

Organisms exchange chemical information continuously. CropG1 studies how semiochemical signals connect molecules, sensory systems and behaviour — and how that knowledge can inform new agricultural technologies.

CHEMICAL ECOLOGY → OLFACTION → BEHAVIOUR + DETECTION

From environmental signal to biological recognition and engineered sensing.

Conceptual scientific visual. It illustrates the information pathway, not a specific insect species, receptor mechanism or sensor architecture. Production biological illustrations and technical details will be scientifically reviewed before publication.

SEMIOCHEMICAL LIBRARY

A scientific discovery system connecting chemical identity, biological role, associated organisms, evidence, analytical information and availability.

Formulation & Delivery

From signal to
pest management.

Semiochemicals can support both surveillance and direct behavioural pest management. Their performance depends on how signals are formulated, released and deployed in the field.

CropG1 approaches formulation and delivery as the enabling layer connecting chemical ecology to monitoring, behavioural intervention and field validation.

MOLECULE → DELIVERY → PEST-MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE

Monitoring is one field objective; behavioural intervention strategies form the broader pest-management landscape.

SURVEILLANCEMonitoring & Detection

Observe pest presence and support field intelligence.

BEHAVIOURAL PEST MANAGEMENTIntervention through chemical communication

Mass trapping · Mating disruption · Attract-and-kill · Push–pull · Emerging strategies

Conceptual scientific landscape. Strategy selection, formulation architecture and release characteristics depend on the biological objective, active semiochemical, target system and field-validation requirements. Vertical placement is used only to separate the strategies visually; it does not represent efficacy, priority or technology maturity.
01Objective decides strategy.
02Strategy defines delivery requirements.
03Delivery controls how the signal enters the field.
04Field validation closes the loop.

The landscape describes research and application strategies. It does not imply that every strategy or formulation is currently offered as a commercial CropG1 product.

PHEROSENSORS

CropG1 is exploring approaches for detecting semiochemical signals and translating chemical information into actionable field intelligence.

FLAGSHIP RESEARCH PLATFORM

PHEROSCAN

Modular Semiochemical Detection Platform for Precision Pest Management

PHEROSCAN explores how semiochemical signals can be translated into measurable, calibrated information for field research and precision pest management.

It is one CropG1 research platform within a broader programme spanning semiochemical detection, behavioural pest management and delivery science.

SIGNAL → RESPONSE → CALIBRATION → FIELD INFORMATION

Conceptual project architecture — not a representation of final hardware.

Conceptual scientific architecture only. The illustration does not depict final PHEROSCAN hardware, a commercial device, or a specific production sensor geometry.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS

Detection is not the endpoint.

01Specificity

Can the sensing response distinguish relevant semiochemical information under realistic conditions?

02Calibration

Can response be calibrated against known signal conditions and analytical references?

03Field robustness

Can the platform operate meaningfully outside controlled laboratory conditions?

04Pest-management value

Can improved chemical information support better decisions within broader pest-management programmes?

ONE PLATFORM · BROADER SCIENCE

PHEROSCAN advances CropG1's sensing research, while CropG1's wider semiochemical programme also spans behavioural pest management, formulation, controlled release and field intervention strategies.
