Insect Glue Trapper works under the integrated pest management supported by the farmer to protect their crops from harmful insect and pest as well as help to promote pest free fruit and vegetables. Glue Trapper is a most effective for catching harmful insect from long distance as well as pest monitoring and tacking relevant remedial action.
Target Pest : Whitefly, Leaf miner, Aphid, Cabbage root fly, Cabbage white butterfly Cucumber beetles, Capsides, Trips, Tea mesquites, leaf hoppers, brown plant hopper, Fruit Fly, Moth and other Flying Insects.

Features :

• Easy Use
• Non Toxic
• Non Drying

Pest Identification : Adult is a small moth having the wingspan of 10-15 mm, dark brown, with irregular black markings on the fore wing. Hind wing silvery gray with no distinct markings. Both wings are elongated, fringed with long hairs posteriorly and the tip of the hind wing is sharply pointed.

Damage To Crop : In the younger crop larvae bore into tender squares and feed within resulting in drying of the terminal shoots. Later flower buds and bolls are attacked. Infested flower buds fail to open up completely due to webbing by the larva, giving the appearance of a typical rosette bloom. Larvae damage the bolls by tunneling into them, destroying the pulp and lint. Infested bolls open prematurely permitting fungal infection.

Brinjal Fruit and Shoot Borer (BFSB) is a very dangerous pest of brinjal. It not only reduces the yield by making holes in shoots as well as in fruits but also reduces the aesthetic value of the fruits so loss get doubled. It is a monophagous pest feeds only on Brinjal. The normal control measures like spraying of pesticides does not solve the problem instead making the environment polluted, ecological disturbance and vegetable poisoning.

Pest Identification : The adult is grayish-brown moth with white wings. The fore and hind wings are provided with marginal hairs and bears pinkish-brown spots. The adult size is 20 mm across the spread wings.

Damage To Crop : Larva is a internal feeder, it immediately bore into the nearest tender shoot or flower or fruit just after hatching. Soon after boring into shoots or fruits, they plug the entrance hole with excreta. As a result, the affected twigs, flower and fruits dries up and may drop off. Presence of wilted shoots in an eggplant field is the surest sign of damage by this pest. This reduces plant growth, which in turn, reduces fruit number and size. New shoots can arise but this delays crop maturity and the newly formed shoots are also subject to larval damage. Larval feeding in flowers results in failure to form fruit from damaged flowers. Larval feeding inside the fruit results in destruction of fruit tissue. The feeding tunnels are often clogged with frass. This makes even slightly damaged fruit unfit for marketing. The yield loss varies from season to season and from location to location.

Control Measures : The IPM strategy based on pheromone reduces pesticide abuse. The pheromone confuse the male adult from mating and thus preventing fertilized egg production by trapping significant number of male moths, which results in reduction of larval and adult population build-up.
