Razbio Launches Innovative ThripsCharm Lures for Enhanced Western Flower Thrips Monitoring
We are excited to announce the launch of ThripsCharm, a groundbreaking monitoring solution designed to support efficient management of Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) in agricultural settings.
This innovative product is a novel combination of plant chemicals and a specially designed dispenser that provides an environmentally friendly and highly effective method of thrips capture.
Revolutionising Pest Monitoring
Western Flower Thrips are a major pest affecting a wide range of crops including cucumber, strawberry, cotton, and sweet pepper. ThripsCharm utilises a unique volatile plant odour blend to attract thrips more effectively than traditional lures. Its advanced dispenser design ensures ease of application and optimal performance and makes it an ideal choice for growers looking to enhance their pest management practices.
Proven Field Trial Success
In recent field trials conducted at commercial strawberry farms, ThripsCharm demonstrated superior performance capturing a higher number of thrips in comparison to both control traps and existing commercial lures. These results demonstrate ThripsCharm’s suitability for widespread use in integrated pest management programmes and highlight the potential it has to protect crops and improve yields.
