PHEROSAN RHYNCHOPHORUS / RED PALM WEEVIL

PHEROSAN® RHYNCHOPHORUS: Pheromone dispenser for the Red Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus)

PHEROSAN® RHYNCHOPHORUS is a dispenser containing ferrugineol, the main component of the aggregation pheromone of the Red Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus), one of the most destructive pests affecting palm trees worldwide. This dispenser is designed for use in monitoring programmes, helping to effectively monitor the populations of this pest.

Mode of action: PHEROSAN® RHYNCHOPHORUS dispensers contain ferrugineol in a polyethylene vial sealed with an aluminium seal. This design ensures that the pheromone is released in a controlled manner over time, guaranteeing optimum diffusion levels. This process ensures continuous and effective monitoring, maximising captures.

The PHEROSAN® RHYNCHOPHORUS dispenser mainly attracts females, which is key to controlling and significantly reducing Red Palm Weevil populations in palm trees.

Attractant duration: The attractant has an average duration of 100 days in warm conditions, providing long-term monitoring without the need to replace the product frequently.
