FLY TRAP ECO-TRAP (code: 0158)
Features:
Eco-friendly trap-bait for control of olive tree fly (Batrocera oleae). It consists of a 15x20 cm green cardboard wrapping with ammoniun bicarbonate (food attractant), externally impregnated with Deltamethrin (insecticide). In order to increase its attraction power, it comes along with a dispenser with a sexual pheromone. It is based on the “attract and kill” method without the need of fly traps: flies lie onto the trap and shortly afterwards, they die.Compatible with the eco-friendly European production.
Do not apply on fruit. It does not leave waste and it uses little doses of insecticide of very low environmental impact
Use:
It works very well in a preventive way and in areas with a medium level of plague. It has to be placed at the onset of the olive bone hardening (mid-June), at the rate of:1 unit/tree, for very big trees, from 100 to 150 trees/ha.
1 unit every 2 trees, for plantation densities from 200 to 400 trees/ha.
1 unit every 3-4 trees, for plantation densities from 600 to 800 trees/ha.
Reinforcement units may be necessary by the end of August if high levels of plague are detected.
Instructions for use
For activation of ECO-TRAP, the bag must be perforated as well as the upper part of the pheromone capsule with a wire of approximately 1 mm diameter.The same wire will be used to hold the pheromone on the ECO-TRAP and at the same, to hang the whole set from an interior branch, mid-way to the top, in a shady position, free from contact with leaves and branches
Do not remove the ECO-TRAP until the end of the olive harvest.
