RYNCHO-TRAP
Palm–o-trap is a specially designed trap loaded
with an aggregation pheromone dispenser of the red palm weevil,
(Rhynchophorus ferrugineus), which is used to determine the population
level in localized zones. This trap is also useful for trapping in large
or small groves. The trap is a 5 lit PE white round basket which is
covered with its lid and bears openings to its sides. A pheromone
dispenser and a bottle with the 2nd food attractant is placed inside the
basket. One hole 4-5 cm deep is made in the soil and the trap is placed
inside so that the openings of the round side come to the same level
with the soil. Then the beetles enter easily into the basket where they
slip to the plastic surfaces, they cannot escape and finally die.
COMPOSITION
The basic lure is an aggregation pheromone dispenser, loaded with 600
mg of active ingredient known under the name of ferruginol. VIORYL’s
dispensers contain also a powerful synergistic food attractant in the
same formulation, 1,5 gr isoamylic alcohol. It is recommended to add in
the trap a second food attractant in a small recipient (about 50 ml)
containing 15-20% of an aqueous solution of sugar can molasses. Both
lures have to be changed every 6-8 weeks depending of the average
temperature of the area where the traps have been placed.
LABELED USE Use for Monitoring: The recommended trap density is 1-2
traps per hectare depending on the density of the plantation. By
counting the number of insects caught, the user gets information about
the flight activity and the population density. An IPM program can
therefore establish. If the traps stay empty there is no need for
further insecticidal treatment. Use for Trapping: The placement of 4 to
8 traps per hectare can significantly reduce the active population of
the insect and minimize the use of chemical insecticides for the control
of this devastating pest. The beetles enter from the side openings;
they slip from the trap walls and cannot fly away.
APPLICATION RATES The traps are placed in the specific area during the
first flight period of the beetle or as advised by an agronomist. Place
on the ground near the trunk of the palm or on the trunk of the palm at a
height of 1.5-2.0m. The traps are placed on the ground next to the
trunk of the palm, buried in the soil up to the height of the container
openings. Or simply place on the ground after the bottom of the trap has
been covered with a fabric to facilitate the beetles to reach easily
the openings on the sides of the trap.
