During and after the clearing of the erstwhile crop , every effort is made not to allow an plague immediately at the start of the new harvest . Once the young plants have been planted , some spraying with chemical agents with a short residual impression on good insects is often still done .
Most raiser then feel that they are starting their fresh crop unclouded and that there are no or barely any pest present in the greenhouse . However , HortiPro specialists have noticed that growers are on a regular basis let down , including this time of year . They have already see that several growers , for exemplar in mellifluous pepper , hydrangea and potted plant , have slight thrips atmospheric pressure in their nursery despite all the mensuration they have withdraw .
HortiPro has installed sticky traps with and without PheroThrip 2.0 , a non - selective thrips pheromone , at several raiser . On the sticky traps without PheroThrip 2.0 , the agriculturist scarce arrest any thrips . The agriculturalist might therefore think that their polish is barren of thrips . However , on the sticky traps with a PheroThrip 2.0 pheromone , well more thrips can be seen .
By using the thrips pheromone PheroThrip 2.0 , HortiPro lures grownup thrips to the sticky lying in wait rather and their presence can therefore be detected preferably . The early thrips are spotted , the sooner appropriate beat can be take to preclude the pressure from stand up too mellow and growers from having to deal with excessive thrip pressure for the residue of the develop season .
PheroThrip 2.0 is a non - selective thrips pheromone in an vapour ear . This evaporation spike can be place in a 5 mm hole in a lily-livered or blue gummy trap and will considerably increase the number of thrips caught on the pasty trap .
Several test and demos have shown that the PheroThrip 2.0 pheromone attracts several thripid species . Thus , Californian , peppercorn , tobacco , echinoid and Japanese flower thrips ( Thrips Set . Nipponese flower thrips ( Thrips Setosus ) were all grab . The latter in particular is ordinarily not or hardly seen on sticky ambush .
In addition , on sticky traps with a PheroThrip 2.0 pheromone , both virile and female thrips are caught . This leave in a considerable diminution of the breeding rate .
In the meanwhile , broad experience has been gained with pepper , cucumber , chrysanthemum , gerbera , rose , hydrangea and strawberry polish , among others .
It is very important not to touch the evaporation spindle with your bare custody . post the spike in the overhear shell with a charge card or latex baseball mitt or tweezers . The detonating gadget on the evaporation spike must remain closed .
The duration of military action of the PheroThrip 2.0 is 6 to 8 weeks . They are usable per 10 pieces in a resealable package and can be observe in the freezer ( -18⁰C ) for up to 2 years .
