Multiplex Pink-B Pheromone Trap is a highly efficient pest management tool designed to monitor and trap Pink Bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) populations. It contains Z, Z-7, 11-Hexadecadienyl acetate and other active compounds that attract adult male pink bollworms, significantly reducing their mating and population. This proactive pest control strategy helps minimize seed and fiber damage, leading to healthier crops and better yields.

Specifications

Features & Benefits

• Effective Monitoring: Efficiently traps pink bollworm populations to reduce mating.
• Prevents Crop Damage: Minimizes seed and fiber loss caused by bollworm feeding.

• Timely Pest Management: Aids in monitoring and controlling pest outbreaks at the right time.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for cotton, okra, and other susceptible crops.

Damage Symptoms

• Borehole Excreta: Visible at the feeding points from larval activity.
• Flower Infestation: Formation of rosette flowers and premature bud dropping.
• Reduced Lint Development: Damaged seeds and compromised fiber quality.
• Bud Opening Failure: Infested buds fail to open and blossom.
