REBELL
®
REBELL amarillo and TMA against cherry fruit flies
®
( Rhagoletis cerasi )
TMA consists of several combinations of proteins which
are attractive for cherry fruit flies. By combining TMA and
REBELL not only is the seasonal appearance of the pest
®
checked but also it gives a realistic impression of the inten-
sity of pest pressure.
Application
Put on some plastic gloves in advance of applica-
tion. Put out 5 – 6 traps per standard tree ( do not ap-
ply less than four traps per tree ). Put one TMA-card per
REBELL trap ( it is not recommended to equip only a part
®
of the REBELL traps with TMA ). Fix the TMA-card on the
®
hole in the bag directly below the REBELL
( as close as possible ). Then cut an upper corner of the TMA
bag using scissors in order for the attractant to be released
( important: do not cut a lower corner to avoid the attrac-
tant leaking ).
Storage
Keep in a dry place protected from UV- light,
do not freeze.
WATER TRAP
Water trap against tomato leafminer
( Tuta absoluta )
Pheromones for tomato leafminer can be used for monito-
ring ( two traps per 1000 m² in glasshouses; 3 – 5 traps per
ha in open field ) as well as for mass trapping ( 20 – 30 traps
per ha ). Put the pheromone dispenser inside the punnet of
the trap. Fill the traps partly with water and add some de-
tergent ( i. e. oily preparations ) to lower the surface tension.
Place the water trap on a steady surface or mount it onto
a ( wooden ) pole at a height of 10 – 50 cm ( see illustrati-
on ). The pheromone dispensers last for about 4 – 6 weeks
depending on the situation, especially the temperature.
After this period, replace the dispenser ( throw away the
old pheromone lure ). In order to ensure there is always
sufficient water in the trap, it is possible to conduct some
water in with the aid of an irrigation dispenser.
