PadCorp Equipment For Insect Control In Field Crops

Insects or Pests are biotic stress for crop productions that plays a huge role in loss of its yield. The damage caused by insect pest is one of the major factors for reduced crop production globally. There is an ongoing effort and awareness amongst farmers for taking plant protection measures. One of the widely used method for pest control is spraying pesticide on crops, however it has various drawbacks mentioned below:

– Domestic animal contaminations and deaths
– Loss of natural antagonists to pests
– Honeybee and pollination decline

– Losses to adjacent crops, fishery and bird.
– Contamination of groundwater.

Analyzing these disadvantages of chemical pesticides, Padgilwar Corporation has introduced various pest control equipment for chemical free pest control.

PadCorp Funnel Trap Funnel trap, as mentioned in its name is a conical funnel covered at the top by a canopy that holds the pheromone dispenser, with circular openings around its radius for the entry of insects which are collected in a plastic bag attached to it below. Male insects are attracted towards these pheromones and enter the funnel where they get trapped inside the polyethene bag. Theses bags can be cleaned and replaced once its filled with insects

Function of funnel trap:
The funnel traps are attached with pheromone dispensers which lure the male insects towards the trap, and they get hit by the walls and fall on the base of the canopy. These traps are installed in the field at the rate of 5-7 traps per hectare and for mas strapping they are installed at 15-20 traps per hectare. Traps should normally be attached to stakes at crop height and placed within the crop with at least 50m between each trap.
For better and efficient trapping you must trap one species of insect with one funnel trap.
