How does Horiver Tuta work
Sticky traps are essential in the detection and partial elimination of many species of flying pests in greenhouses. Sticky traps make it possible to detect pests at an early stage and then use biological measures to combat them. This prevents unnecessary applications of chemicals. Moreover, counting the captured insects on the sticky traps on a regular basis makes clear when pests are present in the greenhouse, how fast their population is developing, and when their population is likely to reach its peak. In this way the grower is much better prepared for potential threats.
Application
In a young crop, the sticky traps need to be hung vertically, just above the ground surface (15-25 cm). In mature plants, the traps may be hung up slightly higher if appropriate (some 50 cm above the ground surface). Position the sticky traps close to the expected hotspots of infestation: near doors and facades, but preferably close to the rows of plants.
