Proper use of Pheromone
Traps:
The pheromone trap
is designed to monitor and reduce pest numbers.
It is recommended to install traps in the early stage of plant growth -
in the seedling stage with a density of 5-10 traps per 1000 m2, it
is important to place them at the entrance to the greenhouse.
For mass capturing of tomato leaf mining moth in an open field, it
is recommended to install 20-25 traps per 1 ha. The height of the trap location
may vary depending on the stage of plant growth. On the seedlings the traps are
located at a height of 20 cm, as the plant grows; it must be moved to a height
of 60 cm.
From the moment of capturing the
first Tuta absoluta butterflies or at
the first signs of damage, it is necessary to take the needed measures to
protect the culture.
