Precision monitoring kit with 60 traps - Olive fruit fly (Pheromone)

Kit for precision monitoring of the olive fruit fly in olive groves where high precision is sought in monitoring the population present in the plot. The traps should preferably be installed in the south-facing area of the tree canopy, reinforcing with special attention the lateral zones of the orchard.  The kit was developed with the materials needed for use over 10 to 12 weeks.

Each Standard kit with 60 traps - Olive fruit fly (Pheromone), contains:

• 60 Tephri-type traps - fly cup [yellow cup (with four lateral holes and another in the inverted inner funnel), four transparent channels for installation in the lateral holes, an internal basket for placing the pheromones, a translucent lid with a snap-fit system and a metal hanger for suspension];
• 60 dispensers / diffusers of 20 mg pheromones (Bactrocera oleae).

The kit is marketed assembled in a single package with assembly instructions.

Dose: 5 to 60 traps/ha (depending on the crop, season and attack intensity - consult the components' documentation).

Attention: Gloves must be used to handle the pheromone dispenser after opening the sealed package. Adding 100 to 200 ml of water with a few drops of neutral soap or unused vegetable oil to the cup helps retain the captured insects inside the trap. Frequent monitoring and cleaning of the traps is recommended. Keep the pheromone dispensers cold (refrigerator or freezer) until the installation date. Consult literature on the biology / ecology of the pest for the area, region or country and the recommendations present in the circulars resulting from the activity of the Agricultural Warning Station. Using pest monitoring methodologies in agricultural crops always assumes that they are accompanied by a consistent plan for sampling the damage (harm and losses), to assess the risk regarding the economic level of attack.
