HortiPro originate born and biological agent as an choice to chemical agents . In the case of the Duponchelia fovealis moth , which is typically fumigated , a test was done with gerbera delta traps in combination with special Duponchelia pheromones . The result was a clear-cut reduction in the issue of varmint .
In some crop , Duponchelia fovealis can cause a trouble . These are often ornamentals such as gerbera , alstroemeria , arise , and various pot plants . The moth are responsible for spread the plague and the caterpillar for the price to the crops .
The female person put 250 eggs in small groups . The eggs are rather deposited under the leaf , close-fitting to the bottom . After hatching , the young caterpillars feed on dead and living plant portion . With pot plants , this is often the plant life ascendent , which straight leads to growth stagnation . It is therefore very important to take well timed action .
In most cases , growers choose to combat the caterpillars with , for example , selective chemistry or product based on the Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria .
However , fit in to HortiPro , a company that develops rude and biological broker as an alternative to chemical agents , bar is proficient than cure . Therefore , the focus is on monitor the Duponchelia fovealis moths with the HortiPro delta traps and exceptional Duponchelia pheromones .
The traps are specially designed for monitoring butterflies and moths . It is important that the delta traps are station strategically in the glasshouse . On the slope of the HortiPro delta trap , there are two fuss , allowing the airflow containing the pheromone to unfold better . As a result , the pheromone has a greater range of a function as opposed to uncouth delta traps . There is a hook in the HortiPro delta trap on which the pheromones can be put without touching the gum panel .
The pheromone should be placed in one of the hole in the hole with pair of tweezers or latex glove . The pheromone stay effective for 3 to 4 weeks .
effect in practiceOver the past year , HortiPro has investigated the capacitance of the HortiPro delta trap and the pheromone . Gerbera was chosen as the host harvest . Three sensitive cultivar ( Bison , Sailor & Suri ) have been supervise and in this guinea pig , they were monitor intensely . The graph below shows how many moth were recover in the various delta traps .
The graphical record shows the telephone number of Duponchelia ( manful moth ) that were beguile , Jürgen Brokelman explain . In the trial , one HortiPro delta snare with a duponchelia pheromone was used per cultivar . These traps were determine and count every week . In some traps , 30 to 40 male moth were caught . These moth ca n’t twin anymore , which deoxidise the phone number of vermin .
