Attractive trap for the cotton bollworn (Helicoverpa armigera)

ARMIGERA Pro Caps® It is a patented microencapsulated pheromone for the capture of the Helicoverpa (Helicoverpa armigera). Helicoverpa larvae are highly polyphagous, feeding on various crops such as cotton, sunflowers, beans, corn, soybeans, sorghum, tobacco, tomatoes, and various fruit crops. Among the protected crops, tomatoes are  particularly vulnerable, experiencing more severe damage.
Pheromones are substances produced by insects that act as signals between individuals of the same species. There are different types of pheromones, such as alarm, aggregation, and sexual pheromones. Monitoring with sexual pheromones is based on an attractant placed inside a trap that mimics the substance produced by the female. The attractant lures males, which are then captured. This allows for the detection of the onset of the pest and tracking its infestation level. Monitoring also contributes to decision-making (to implement a curative intervention) and/or measure the effectiveness of a treatment.

ARMIGERA Pro Caps® stands out not only for its effectiveness but also for its commitment to the environment, being completely biodegradable. Its easy storage at room temperature simplifies handling in various conditions, offering convenience and flexibility in its application. Furthermore, its extended shelf life of 2.5 years ensures lasting  availability, consolidating this product as a safe and sustainable solution.  The product is efficient, selective, and harmless to fauna, flora, operators, and residents.
