Tutasan trap + Pheromone

Tutasan Trap + Pheromone

This is a type of trap designed to capture specific insect pests in agriculture. It typically consists of a physical trap structure (often sticky or with a funnel) that insects enter and cannot escape from.

Pheromones are natural chemicals emitted by insects to communicate with each other. In agricultural applications, synthetic pheromones are used to attract pests to traps, disrupting their mating patterns and reducing their population.

Features

• By using specific pheromones, traps can target and capture particular pests, such as moths or beetles, depending on the type of pheromone used.
• This method is considered environmentally friendly as it reduces the need for chemical insecticides, thereby minimizing harm to beneficial insects and non-target organisms.
• Besides control, traps with pheromones are also used for monitoring pest populations, helping farmers make informed decisions about pest management strategies.

Application

• Traps are strategically placed in fields or orchards based on pest behavior and crop type.
• Deployment timing is crucial and often coincides with specific pest life stages or seasonal peaks.
• Regular checking and replacement of pheromone lures ensure traps remain effective throughout the growing season.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place to maintain their effectiveness until use.
• Clean and store traps properly between uses to avoid contamination and ensure longevity.
