Description
Ecolure Fruit Fly Attractant | High-Potency Synthetic Male Pheromone Lure
Protect orchard yields and vegetable crops with Ecolure Fruit Fly Attractant, an advanced synthetic pheromone solution engineered for precision Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Designed to mimic natural species-specific sex pheromones with far greater potency than naturally occurring attractants, Ecolure selectively draws male fruit flies into traps. By trapping males and interrupting the mating cycle, Ecolure suppresses population growth and prevents female flies from laying eggs inside developing produce.
Because the lure is applied strictly inside trap enclosures rather than sprayed onto crops, Ecolure provides zero-residue protection—safeguarding crop marketability, preventing premature fruit drop, and reducing dependence on conventional foliar chemical insecticides.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Ultra-Potent Synthetic Pheromone: Emits an intense lure signal to attract male fruit flies over long distances.
-
IPM & Residue-Free Protection: Applied inside traps to ensure zero direct chemical exposure or residue on harvested produce.
-
Breeding Cycle Disruption: Eliminates male populations, reducing mating efficiency and suppressing overall infestation density.
-
Ultra-Low Dose Efficiency: Economical 5 ml per-trap application delivers extended release and multi-week protection.
-
Universal Trap Compatibility: Performs seamlessly with both commercial fruit fly traps and cost-effective homemade trap systems.
Application & Lure Ratios
| Target Pests | Target Crops / Environments | Dosage Per Trap | Recommended Trap Medium |
| Male Fruit Flies (Bactrocera spp.) | Orchards, Vegetable Fields, Gardens & Greenhouses | 5 ml / Trap | Cotton wick or absorbent pad placed inside trap |
Recommended Application Environments
-
Fruit Orchards: Mango, guava, citrus, melon, peach, apple, and papaya crops.
-
Vegetable Fields: Cucurbits (gourds, squash, cucumber), tomatoes, and peppers.
-
Protected Cultivation: Greenhouses, shade-net facilities, nurseries, and kitchen gardens.
Application Guidelines
-
Prepare Trap: Insert a clean cotton wick or absorbent pad into a commercial or bottle-style fruit fly trap.
-
Apply Lure: Using a clean dropper, apply exactly 5 ml of Ecolure directly onto the cotton wick.
-
Hang Traps: Place traps evenly across the canopy perimeter or crop field at tree-mid height, away from direct mid-day sun.
-
Maintenance & Safety: Inspect traps weekly to clear captured flies and refresh lures according to seasonal pest pressure. Avoid spilling lure liquid on hands or clothing, as lingering scent will attract flies to your person. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
