2 pcs/1 ha – for observation,

2-5 pieces/1 hectare – for bulk capture

Baits last 6-8 weeks, after which they are replaced with new ones.

Benefits of Tuta Absoluta pheromones

Ecological safety
Pheromones are specific to the tomato moth and are therefore effective in targeted control of insect behavior. However, they do not have a significant effect on beneficial insects and other organisms. Pheromones for baits are used in small quantities, have low toxicity, they do not need to be applied to plants, – this makes them safe for the environment and the consumer.

Early accurate monitoring
Monitoring with Tuta Absolut pheromone bait allows you to detect its appearance and accumulation in the location at an early stage, to take measures necessary to protect the crop. Since pheromones are specific to a certain type of pest, even a small number of insects can be detected with their help.

Mass capture
In order to identify and destroy more pests, as well as significantly reduce their population, pheromone baits are used in conjunction with black glue traps for mining moths.

Tut Absolut pheromones can be combined with baits for other insect pests, for example, Thripsa. This reduces the use of chemical insecticides in integrated pest management programs.
