Funnel trap is a type of trap used to collect a wide range of insect pest. Funnel trap usually contains pheromone lure to which lure is suspended in the middle of the trap. These traps are used for monitoring and also for controlling insect population by mass trapping technique.
How it works: Pheromones are chemicals used by insect to communicate with each other. Insects send these chemical signals to attract males for mate. So pheromones are released from the lure placed inside the trap and attract the opposite sex of the same insect species. The attracted insects get trapped inside and are killed in the trap.
Benefits:
· It is an eco-friendly product.
· Reduce health risk associated with chemicals.
· Reduced use of chemical pesticides, hence reduce the cost of production.
· Target insect pests get controlled.
· Increase in the yield and quality of the product can be achieved.
How to use: The funnel trap and lures should be placed in the field with equal distance. The pheromone will get released from the lures in required amount on regular basis and attracts the target insects and killed inside the trap. The dead insect must be collect and dispose on regular basis for better results.
Recommended units: 12-15 traps per acre can be placed for significant result which will last for more than 20-25 days.
