Ecoman® Thrip Lure & Blue Sticky Trap

Ecoman® Thrip lure is a unique pheromone lure that attracts thrip adults into a blue sticky trap.

It helps in monitoring thrip population density for West flower thrip (Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande), Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci Lindeman) and Flower thrip (Frankliniella intonsa Trybom). The monitoring results help in making timely and accurate control decisions. 

With mass trapping, these traps can keep the thrip population under control, even before the spraying application.

Thrips typically are present in a crop much before they are detected. Therefore, they can grow rapidly without being noticed. The use of ECOMAN® Thrip Trap facilitates early detection of thrips. This product can attract thrips 2-3 times higher as compared to Blue Sticky Trap alone, therefore ensuring more effective trapping.
