Mode of Application: 

Remove the metal sheet from the blister pack and place in the collection jar. Place traps approximately 50 meters apart

Replacement: Replace the pheromone lure every 90-120 day as recommended by the local agricultural authorities. Replace the sticky board when full with insects and debris.

Time of application: Use before     the emergence of the first generation and until the end of the season.

Trap density: The  trapping density should be adequate to the crop infestation.

For monitoring: For industrial gardens, place 1 trap every hectare in areas needed for monitoring. Use 1trap every 4 hectares in areas of possible occurrence. In allotment

For mass trapping: 30-50 trap per hectare in a regular distribution.

Suitable trap:

Black sticky traps are used with the pheromone lures for routine monitoring, as they have a lower

catch of non-target species than coloured sticky traps. Pheromone lures may also be used with black pyramid or light traps.

Storage: 

• Store the dispenses away from sunlight in a dry and cool place.

• The product expiry date is 2 years from production date under good store conditions and without opening the original container.
