This article supplies a review and evaluation of research concerning the synthesis and field application of pheromones and insect attractants in Vietnam, focusing on raising sustainable agricultural development. We present the attractants and pheromones widely tested in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, providing a useful reference for researchers and scientists. Next, we summarize the methods of pheromone synthesis, including compounds with optical and geometric isomeric structures. Finally, the article evaluates the practical effectiveness of using pheromones in pest control in the field, demonstrating the role of Vietnamese scientists in independent research and international cooperation. These results promote environmentally friendly biological solutions and support sustainable agricultural development in Vietnam.
