Koppert is now introducing a new black version of the famous Horiver sticky trap. Tests in Spain have shown that a black Horiver captures certainly twice as many Tuta absoluta.

The new black Horiver sticky trap is an additional tool in the fight against Tuta absoluta, a very harmful leaf-mining moth with a strong preference for tomato. Until now, the predatory bugs Nesidiocoris tenuis (Mediterranean) and Macrolophus pygmaeus (Northern Europe) constituted a solid foundation in the fight against Tuta absoluta, in combination with pheromones and Bacillus thuringiensis treatments.

Advantages

The new, long lasting sticky trap is especially useful during the winter, when natural enemies are not yet well established. Like the yellow and blue traps, the black Horiver is covered with a layer of strong, wet glue. The leaf miner drops on the plate, gets caught in the adhesive and is unable to fly.
