Tobacco caterpillar (Helicoverpa assulta)
Alias: Caterpillar, Spodoptera exigua
Characteristics: Adult tobacco caterpillars are about 15mm long, with a wingspan of 27--35mm, and are yellowish brown. There are several dark brown thin horizontal lines on the forewings, and the kidney-shaped and annular stripes are clearer than those of cotton bollworms. The hindwings are yellowish brown, and the black broad band on the outer edge is slightly narrower.
Main damage: Solanaceous crops such as tobacco, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, etc. It can also damage crops such as corn, sunflowers, peas, cabbage, pumpkins, and cotton.
Product description: The attractant of this product is a new type of green biological control product.The trap attracts male insects by long-term and slow release of pheromones that imitate female courtship and cooperates with the trap to trap and kill them.This method can detect pest population density and plan pesticide application, or directly trap and kill adult insects in a large area to reduce the mating rate, thereby controlling the number of new generations and controlling insect population density.The pheromone control method is safe and efficient and will not produce pesticide resistance, pesticide residues or broad-spectrum killing of non-target organisms (beneficial insects).At present, pheromone technology has been widely used in developed countries.
