This paper reviews the literature on the identification of 3-methylcyclohex-2-en-1-one (MCH) as the antiaggregation pheromone of the Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and the development of successful management applications using the pheromone. Previously unpublished data from two studies on novel uses of MCH are included. The successful development of antiaggregation pheromone-based treatments for the Douglas-fir beetle is discussed in relation to efforts to develop similar treatments for other bark beetle species, and opportunities for future research on MCH and the Douglas-fir beetle are suggested.

本文综述了有关鉴定3-甲基环己-2-烯-1-酮（MCH）作为花旗松甲虫（Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins）（鞘翅目：Curculionidae）的抗聚集信息素的文献。使用信息素。包括以前关于MCH的新用途的两项研究未发表的数据。与为其他树皮甲虫物种开发类似治疗方法的努力相关的讨论，讨论了基于抗聚集信息素的治疗方法，成功地开发了道格拉斯-fir甲虫，并为将来的MCH和道格拉斯-fir甲虫研究提供了机会。
