Diamond Back Moth (Plutella xylostella) causes maximum damage to cole crops such as Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Mustard, Canola, etc. DBM adults are approximately 8-9mm long with a wing span of 12 to 15 mm. The wing tips are fringed with long hairs. The forewing margins have a series of yellow wavy markings which come together to form diamond shapes, when the insect is at rest. So the name diamond back moth. DBM larvae cause maximum damage to the crop. DIVINE TRAP INDUSTRIES offers an extremely effective pheromone based solution to tackle this menace, as detailed below.

Pheromone Dispenser / Lure
The Pheromone dispenser is in the form of a Rubber Septa or a translucent polymer capsule in which the active ingredient material is filled in.

Color : Brick Red or Translucent White.

Materials of Construction : Silicon Rubber or UV Stabilized polymer.

Active Ingredients : Z-11-Hexadecenal , Z-11-Hexadecenyl-1acetate , Z-11-Hexadecen-1-ol.

Effective life span in the field : 30 to 45 days, subject to weather conditions.

Application – How it works : Place the Lure / dispenser in the Trap Lure holder and place the traps at various locations just above the crop level. where the catch is effective. As the Active Ingredient is dissipated into the atmosphere, the insects are attracted into the trap. Eventually they get entrapped in the trap and die because of the provision made in respective traps. It is advised to use 8 water traps or pheroglo traps per acre initially. Trap density may be increased upto 50 per acre depending on degree of infestation. So the next cycle or generation of insects i.e, egg laying (ovi-position)-larvae - pupae- flying adults does not happen leading to drastic reduction of pest population. Thus over 50% to 90 % control is achieved.
