GP Fruit fly traps are an important component of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in horticultural ecosystems. These traps help farmers monitor pest population intensity on a daily basis and act as an early warning system. By analyzing trap data, farmers can take timely pest control measures even before egg laying begins, thereby reducing crop damage significantly. Fruit fly traps are also used for monitoring and mass trapping, commonly known as the Male Annihilation Technique (MAT), particularly for controlling Bactrocera species. This makes them highly beneficial for both farmers and the environment by enabling precise and need-based pest management.
Crops: Suitable for a wide range of fruit and vegetable crops including: Grapes, Pomegranate, Mango, Sapota, Sweet orange, Mandarin orange, Lemon, Guava, Fig, Papaya, Watermelon, Muskmelon, Pumpkin, Cucumber, Bottle gourd, Ridge gourd, Bitter gourd, Tinda, Parwal and more.Target Pests : Bactrocera dorsalis (Oriental fruit fly) ?Bactrocera cucurbitae (Melon fruit fly)
Working Principle The trap uses attractants (lures) to attract male fruit flies. Once attracted, the flies enter the trap and are unable to escape, eventually getting trapped and killed. This reduces mating and helps control the pest population effectively.
