PHEROMONES AGAINST PEACH WORMS - 58023-

The larva spends the winter in a cocoon on the ground or in crevices of the tree trunk. In spring, it transforms into a butterfly. The first generation of butterflies appears between late March and mid-June. After mating, the butterflies lay their eggs on the underside of leaves or near the fruit. The worm responsible for the damage emerges after eight days and burrows into the fruit. Once its development is complete (about a month in spring and 12 to 15 days in summer), it leaves the fruit and settles in the ground or bark inside a cocoon as a nymph. Depending on the climate, three to five generations can occur until October. The principle is to use the female's specific pheromones to attract the male, trapping him and preventing mating and egg-laying, where the larvae (worms) will hatch.
A 100% ecological method, perfectly effective and respectful of crops and soil.
Pheromones are volatile substances generally secreted by female insects. They play a role in recognizing and sexually attracting males, who can spot them even from several kilometers away.
Each species emits a specific pheromone. This allows for highly precise and effective control of each type of pest.
Each type of pest corresponds to a specific pheromone.
The treatment consists of trapping the male insect by imitating the pheromone emitted by the female to prevent mating and therefore egg-laying.
