Integrated Pest Management, especially pheromone-based pest management technology is an ecological strategy to pest management that may minimize risk posed by pesticides to human health and the environment. In order to avoid the burst release of pheromones and extend their duration in the field, novel matrices and encapsulating methods are intensively studied to decrease the release rate of pheromones, thereby achieving efficient, labor-saving and economical control effect. With the development and application of nanotechnology, some nanomaterials have been applied in agriculture, especially in the controlled-release of agrochemicals. In this review, we summarize the current developments of novel matrices of pheromones dispensers, including their classification, properties, efficacy, and potential application prospect. Nanomaterial-based novel pheromone matrices are at an early stage of development, and several challenges must be solved before future marketing. These challenges include the reduction of their production cost and assessment of their performance, especially at the field level. There are also concerns about the potential safety risks of nanomaterials. It is necessary to develop transdisciplinary risk governance frameworks based on clear understanding of nanotechnology risk, management practices and societal perceptions.
