Abstract
The insects world is filled with many odors. Insects use these odors to cue them in a variety of complex social behaviors, including courtship, mating, and egg laying. Scientists and pest control specialists have known about these complex communication systems for decades. The main aim of this study was to visualize the availability, trends and differences in the sources of pheromone control in agricultural growth of Bangladesh. It also concerned on constrains and present use of pheromone and their possible recommendation on behalf of Bangladesh agriculture. It concentrated on the data during last three decades (1980-2010), comprising status of pheromone use in Bangladesh agriculture and its future. Review revealed that Bangladesh has been enormously successful in increasing pheromone use in agricultural production (especially for vegetables). Understanding of the nature of pheromones and their potential for pest control along with the future prospective of pheromone technique in agriculture were stated. Since the pheromone, technologies for control of major crop pests in Bangladesh are still limited. So that this review emphasized on more attention to the authority to increase the research works and project facilities related to develop and promote pheromone techniques. It is highly recommended to increase availability of pheromone in market, more investment in research and development, introduction of newly identified pheromone for specific pest, to assist government and nongovernment organizations to work with farmers to reduce harmful insecticide use and promote pheromone tactics as one part of integrated crop management (ICM).

Highlights
Bangladesh, one of the smallest countries in South-East Asia, has a predominantly farming-based economy
It is good news for us that the pheromone of fruit and shoot borer moth is synthesized and produced in the factory. It is available in the market and to use the sex pheromone in the field, one needs two items: the chemical lure and a suitable trap, which are available in Bangladesh with much cost effective price
Bangladesh has been enormously successful in increasing its agricultural production in an effort to attain self-sufficiency
Summary
Bangladesh, one of the smallest countries (area 57 K sq. miles) in South-East Asia, has a predominantly farming-based economy. According to scientists from three organizations (Natural Resources Institute, NRI; Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, BRRI and the multinational agrochemical company Syngenta) worked in collaboration to find sustainable control method, sleeve traps with a pheromone lure are both effective and costefficient in controlling the insect which is responsible for 70-80% of pest damage to rice crops (Anonymous, 2003). It is good news for us that the pheromone of fruit and shoot borer moth is synthesized and produced in the factory It is available in the market and to use the sex pheromone in the field, one needs two items: the chemical (or the pheromone) lure and a suitable trap, which are available in Bangladesh with much cost effective price. This issue needs to be spelled out in the present National Agricultural Policy (NAP)
