Mohini Pheromone Lure – Targeted Trap Solution for Fruit Borer (Helicoverpa armigera)

Mohini is a precision pheromone lure designed for capturing adult male moths of Helicoverpa armigera, also known as Fruit Borer or Cotton Bollworm. This species is a major pest in tomato, cotton, pulses, cereals, and various horticultural crops. Mohini offers farmers an effective early-warning tool for pest population monitoring and control through non-toxic, eco-friendly methods.
