Chromotropic Adhesive Trap for thrips 10 pcs

Adhesive chromotope traps are widely used in organic farming to capture thrips insects that can damage the plant.

These are particular colored plasticized sheets on which special glues are applied, resistant to the heat of the sun, which do not melt and manage not to contaminate plants and soil.

Completely odorless and perfect for any cultivation environment, even indoors, these traps are simple to install and can be the perfect ally for the biological care of plantations, because they are able to capture and render the fearsome and harmful thrips harmless.

Chromotropic traps have a very low environmental impact and do not damage your cultivation in any way.

The colored sheet simply attracts the insect and the glue captures it, causing it to stick to the surface of the sheet, so it cannot pose a risk to the healthy and strong growth of your plants.

How to use sticky traps

These adhesive traps are called chromotropic because they exploit the fact that in nature insects are attracted by some shades of color rather than others.

The best colors are yellow and blue : the former attracts most of the insects that damage crops; blue chromotropic traps, on the other hand, are essential for monitoring and capturing thrips.

But how do they work?

Chromotropic sticky insect traps should be installed early in the season, before the pests begin to reproduce. The insects are attracted by the color of the trap, exactly as if it were a flower, but they remain glued to it.

Here are some tips for optimal use:

1. A single trap is good for 1 square meter of space;
2. Place the traps near the vegetative tips;
3. Change the location of the trap as the plant grows;
4. Always take into account the size of the plant: if it is small, the chromotropic trap should be installed on a wooden support. If it is large, hang it on top with a string;
5. Change the trap when significantly covered with insects;
