Caterpillars pose a significant threat to crops, and our solutions provide a targeted and eco-friendly approach to managing these pests. Koppert offers a diverse range of biological products for caterpillar control:
- Beneficial nematodes, such as Capirel, Capsanem, Casea, Entonem, Larvanem, Palmanem, and Sportnem, present an effective solution by infecting and parasitizing caterpillar larvae.
- Predatory bugs like Macrolophus pygmaeus (Mirical) and Nesidiocoris tenuis (Nesibug) contribute to control by preying on caterpillar eggs and larvae, focusing on pests like the tomato leaf miner moth (Tuta absoluta).
- Lacewings, including Chrysoperla carnea (Chrysopa, Chrysopa-E), are valuable allies in caterpillar control, actively hunting for eggs of butterflies and moths, especially at low temperatures.
- Additionally, monitoring and trapping play a crucial role in caterpillar control. Pherodis disrupts mating patterns by attracting male moths, while traps like Deltatrap, Castellation Trap, Funnel Trap Economy, and Funnel Trap Standard aid in detecting and reducing moth populations. Specialized products like Buxatrap target male Box tree moths, and Tutasan supports monitoring and trapping of the Tomato leaf mining moth (Tuta absoluta). Horiver Black and Horiver Delta effectively trap and monitor moths, contributing to early pest detection and integrated pest management strategies.
With Koppert's comprehensive range of solutions, caterpillar infestations can be managed sustainably, minimizing reliance on chemical pesticides.
