PHEROMONES AGAINST OLIVE WORMS - 58011-
Responsible insect: Fly (diptera, Dacus Oleae)
Once fertilized, the fly lays an egg under the peel of the fruit. The larva (worm) that hatches develops, causing serious damage: eroded pulp, rotting, and the olive falling.
Pheromones protect the fruit and limit egg laying.
The package contains 2 capsules packaged in 2 airtight bags.
Each capsule works for 4-6 weeks and covers approximately 15 m2. Pheromone sachets can be stored in the cold (up to 3 years in the refrigerator - up to 5 years in the freezer).
Recommended treatment period:
JUNE-JULY-AUGUST-SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER
THE CAPSULES MUST BE PLACED IN THE TRAPS 58082 OR 58085 TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY
Description
Description
The adult insect is a fly. The fertilized female lays her eggs just under the skin of the fruit. The larvae that hatch feed and develop, causing very serious damage: gnawed pulp, rot, and the fruit falling off. New flies are born from April to June. The first generation lays its eggs in July, when the olives are already well underway. One egg is laid per fruit, inside the olive. From here, the larvae that cause so much serious damage will hatch. From late June to early October, several generations follow. In autumn, the larvae of the last generation drop to the ground where they burrow to spend the winter as pupae.
A 100% ecological method, perfectly effective and respectful of crops and the soil.
Pheromones are volatile substances generally secreted by female insects. These 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 has its own specific pheromone.
Treatment consists of trapping the male insect by mimicking the pheromone emitted by the female to prevent mating and thus egg-laying.
