Mohini Diamondback Moth Lure – Smart Protection for Cruciferous Vegetables

Mohini Pheromone Lure targets adult male Plutella xylostella, also known as the Diamondback Moth—a major pest of cruciferous crops like cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli. Its advanced pheromone formulation draws male moths into traps, effectively reducing reproduction rates and helping farmers prevent damaging larval outbreaks.

Why You Need It

Diamondback moths are small, fast-breeding, and capable of long-distance travel. Their larvae feed on leaves, stunting plant growth and causing severe yield loss in cole crops. Since these pests tend to feed on the underside of leaves, traditional sprays often miss them. That’s where pheromone trapping becomes a vital line of defense.

Ideal for These Crops

• Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli
• Chinese Cabbage, Brussels Sprouts, Kale
• Mustard, Turnip, Collard, Kohlrabi, Radish

Key Features & Advantages

• Species-Specific: Attracts only male Diamondback moths
• Safe & Non-Toxic: No chemical residue on food crops
• Dual Trap Compatibility: Works with water traps or delta traps
• IPM-Ready: Supports decision-making and pest threshold alerts
• Eco-Friendly: Safe for pollinators and natural predators

How to Use

1. With Water Trap:
   • Half-fill the trap with soapy water
   • Insert the Mohini lure into the holder and secure it
   • Mount the trap on a wooden stake 1–2 feet above the crop canopy
   • Remove captured moths and refresh water regularly
2. With Delta Trap:
   • Attach sticky liner inside the trap
   • Place lure at the center and install at crop height
   • Check and replace sticky liners as needed
