1. Working Principle
Fall armyworm is a kind of moth of Spodoptera, Noctuidae, whose larvae mainly feed on corn and rice, respectively. Its larvae can eat a large number of fine grains of Poaceae such as rice, sugarcane and corn, as well as a variety of crops such as Compositae and Brassicaceae, causing serious economic losses. Its development speed will increase with the increase of temperature. It can reproduce for several generations a year, and a female moth can lay more than 1000 eggs. This species is native to the tropical region of the Americas and has a strong migration capacity. Since 2016, the Fall armyworm has spread to African and Asian countries, and appeared in Chinese Mainland and Taiwan in 2019, which has caused huge agricultural losses in many countries.
According to the eating habits and living habits of Fall armyworm, a special device is developed to lure and kill Fall armyworm.
2. Instructions for Use
Put the lure core of Fall armyworm into the lure core handle of the inverted cone trap and wind it, insert the lure core handle into the inverted cone trap, and then lock the inverted cone trap on the stick and insert it into the field. The Fall armyworm will be attracted by the lure core and fly into the inverted cone trap to be trapped. The lure core belongs to the sex Pheromone, which has a significant attraction effect on the male pests. By reducing the number of male pests, the female pests can not lay eggs normally, so as to inhibit the outbreak of pests and control the population density.
The inverted cone trap is used together with the core of Fall armyworm. The general location of the ridge is 2 sets per acre, hung according to the principle of "dense periphery and sparse middle", and the lure core is replaced every two months. The rubber coated iron rod matched with the inverted cone trap can adjust the height, and users can adjust the product height according to the crop height. Generally, the bottom funnel of the inverted cone trap is 1 to 1.2 meters above the ground or more than 20 centimeters above the top of the crop. The inverted cone trap can be recycled and reused, and in case of human damage, the inverted cone trap can withstand sunlight and rain for 2 years.
