RHYNCHONEX® ATTRACTANTS KIT 90 DAYS

The red palm weevil is an invasive exotic species and one of the main pests affecting palm trees in the Middle East and North Africa.

The RHYNCHONEX® ATTRACTIVE KIT 90 DAYS attractant diffuser attracts males and females of the species. It lasts 90 days in the field.

The most common symptom that may suggest an insect attack is the wilting appearance of the leaves in the centre of the crown, which may eventually dry out and hang to the ground. In very severe attacks, the entire crown dries out and the palm dies, as the palm tree is completely bored by the larvae, with its interior decomposing.

TIME OF USE:

Adults have a high flight period throughout the year, especially in spring, summer and autumn, as the pest's activity increases with the temperature. For the correct treatment of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, monitoring of the pest is recommended using the RHYNCHONEX® ATTRACTIVE KIT 90 DAYS diffuser.

APPLICATION:

For detection and monitoring, we will use 1 to 2 RHYNCHONEX® or CROSSTRAP® MINI traps per hectare (at least 1 per plot). A spacing of 50 to 100 meters between the traps is recommended. For exhaustive monitoring, the number of traps per surface is increased: approximately one RHYNCHONEX® or CROSSTRAP® MINI trap every 50 meters. This translates into a density of 4 to 6 traps per hectare.

HOW THE DIFFUSER WORKS:

The RHYNCHONEX® ATTRACTIVE KIT 90 DAYS diffuser is made up of a RHYNCHONEX® FEROMONA 90 DAYS diffuser and a RHYNCHONEX® CAIROMONA 90 DAYS diffuser, in the same blister, packed in an aluminium envelope with a specification label. It includes an identification label to be placed on the traps with the date of placement and replacement of the kit. Once removed from the packaging, the diffuser does not need any activation operation, just be placed properly in the trap.

PRODUCT STORAGE:

The kit must be kept in its original packaging, and it is recommended to keep it in a refrigerator at 4° C, in which case it remains effective for 2 years.
