Branches laden with juicy, blemish-free plums are the pride of every gardener. Unfortunately, the larvae of the plum fruit moth (Grapholita funebrana) also covet your painstakingly cultivated harvest, and their destructive activity causes worm-infested and spoiled fruits to fall prematurely from the trees. To protect your family’s food supply and enjoy only the highest quality fruits in autumn, Agrozone offers you a smart and environmentally friendly solution.
Effective Plant Protection Supporting the Ecosystem
Modern organic farming guides us to abandon harsh pesticides. This pheromone trap, specifically designed for plum fruit moths, is an excellent example of natural pest control that works in harmony with the surrounding environment. A specific attractant placed in the trap lures male moths, which become stuck to the non-drying adhesive base. This effectively interrupts the pest’s reproductive cycle, while leaving beneficial pollinators, such as bees, and other useful insects undisturbed, thus preserving the garden’s biodiversity. Furthermore, this method is completely safe for pets and children playing in the garden.
How to Properly Use the Device
Setting up the trap is quick, and the supplies last for weeks. The package includes one weather-resistant plastic housing, two pheromone capsules, two adhesive bases, and mounting accessories.
-
Strategic Placement: For maximum trapping results, suspend the trap directly within the plum tree canopy, approximately 2–3 meters above ground level.
-
Optimal Quantity: To create an effective protective shield, allocate one trap per large, mature plum tree or distribute one trap between two younger saplings.
-
Systematic Maintenance: As summer winds bring dust and the adhesive base fills with insects, both the adhesive base and the pheromone capsule must be replaced with new ones every 3–4 weeks to maintain effectiveness.
Take a step towards more conscious and cleaner gardening, and forget about worm-infested fruits – your trees will thank you with an abundant, toxin-free, and juicy harvest!
