Lure trap for heliotis (Helicoverpa armigera)
ARMIGERA Pro Caps® is a patented microencapsulated pheromone for the trapping of heliothrix (Helicoverpa armigera). Heliotis larvae are highly polyphagous, feeding on a variety of crops such as cotton, sunflowers, beans, corn, soybeans, sorghum, tobacco, tomato and various fruit crops. Among protected crops, tomato is particularly vulnerable, experiencing more severe damage.
ARMIGERA Pro Caps® stands out not only for its effectiveness, but also for its commitment to the environment, as it is completely biodegradable. Its easy storage at room temperature
simplifies handling under various conditions, offering convenience and flexibility in application. In addition, its extended shelf life of 2.5 years ensures long-lasting availability, consolidating this product as a safe and sustainable solution.
The product is efficient, selective and harmless to fauna, flora, operators and residents. Free of residues, inputs or resistance mechanisms, it is a product suitable for use in organic agriculture.
