Abstract

Background: Semiochemicals, including volatile and non-volatile organic compounds used in insect communication, offer environmentally friendly alternatives to broad-spectrum pesticides. In particular, sex pheromones have gained prominence in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) due to their species-specific action and reduced ecological impact. Understanding their chemical structures, biosynthetic pathways, and olfactory mechanisms is essential to optimize their application across diverse crop systems. Methods: This study presents a comprehensive review of 15 peer-reviewed publications (2010–2025). It synthesizes findings on pheromone chemistry, enzymatic biosynthesis pathways, olfactory reception mechanisms, and field-level applications. The analysis integrates molecular characterization, biochemical pathways, and empirical performance data from 35 major agricultural pests to evaluate efficacy and economic impact. Findings: Lepidopteran sex pheromones primarily consist of Type I (C₁₀–C₁₈ unsaturated alcohols, aldehydes, acetate esters; ~75%) and Type II (C₁₇–C₂₃ polyunsaturated hydrocarbons; ~15%) compounds. Biosynthesis involves key enzymes such as ACC, FAS, Δ12-desaturase, and FAR. Olfactory detection occurs via GPCR-mediated signal transduction in antennal sensilla. Field evidence shows pheromone-based strategies—monitoring, mass trapping, mating disruption, and attract-and-kill—achieve 60–95% pest suppression while reducing pesticide costs by an average of 59%. Controlled-release formulations enable sustained delivery for 30–120 days. Conclusion: Semiochemical-based IPM represents a scientifically validated, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable pest control strategy. By targeting species-specific communication systems, it reduces chemical dependency while maintaining high suppression efficiency. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This review integrates molecular chemistry, enzymatic biosynthesis, neuro-olfactory mechanisms, and large-scale field validation into a unified analytical framework. By linking mechanistic biochemical insights with applied agricultural performance data, it strengthens the scientific foundation and practical justification for semiochemical-driven IPM as a sustainable alternative to conventional pesticide regimes.

Abstract

Background: Sugarcane smut disease, caused by Sporisorium scitamineum, is one of the most destructive fungal diseases affecting sugarcane production in Indonesia. Although the national plantation area has expanded in recent years, productivity and sugar recovery rates remain low, hindering the achievement of sugar self-sufficiency. Understanding pathogen characteristics and improving disease management strategies are therefore critical to strengthening national sugarcane sustainability. Methods: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach based on secondary data obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the Ministry of Agriculture, and peer-reviewed scientific literature published within the last 5–10 years. The analysis covered national cultivation trends, pathogen morphology, and recent advances in chemical and biological control strategies. Findings: Indonesia’s sugarcane plantation area increased from 429,959 ha in 2018 to 494,764 ha in 2023; however, sugar recovery rates remain low (6.5–7.5%). Morphologically, S. scitamineum produces characteristic black whip-like structures containing brown teliospores, which disperse through wind, water, and infected planting materials. Disease control strategies include seed-cane treatment with systemic fungicides (e.g., flutriafol, propiconazole, triadimefon) and hot-water treatment. Biological control agents such as Trichoderma spp., Streptomyces spp., and Bacillus spp. demonstrate more than 70% suppression of pathogen growth. Recent developments emphasize integrated management combining genetic resistance, chemical protection, biological control, and molecular technologies. Conclusion: Effective management of sugarcane smut in Indonesia requires an integrated and sustainable approach that combines agronomic, chemical, biological, and molecular strategies. Strengthening disease control systems is essential to improving productivity and supporting national sugar security. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study provides an updated synthesis linking national production trends with pathogen biology and integrated control innovations. By connecting macro-level agricultural data with micro-level pathogen characteristics and emerging molecular approaches, it offers a comprehensive framework for sustainable smut disease management in Indonesia.
