How does Horiver work
Sticky traps are essential in the detection and partial elimination of many species of flying pests in greenhouses. Sticky traps make it possible to detect pests at an early stage and then use biological measures to combat them. This prevents unnecessary applications of chemicals. Moreover, counting the captured insects on the sticky traps on a regular basis makes clear when pests are present in the greenhouse, how fast their population is developing, and when their population is likely to reach its peak. In this way growers are much better prepared for potential threats. Horiver (small) has a grid which makes counting easier.
Application
-
With regards to tall crops such as cucumber, tomato and pepper, position the traps just above the top of the plant and adjust while the plants grow
-
When it comes to crops with a low canopy, support the traps by canes or wire holders and install them maximum 30 cm above the crop
-
The traps must be placed in areas where the risk of pest infestation is high, e.g at doors, gable ends and lateral ventilation openings
-
Traps must be removed when significant numbers of flying parasites are caught. This happens when traps hang among the plants (instead of above)
Storage
-
Horiver is kept in a dark place.
