Insect Lures for “Good” and “Bad” Insects
Our formulations are based on naturally-occurring semiochemicals and can be used to help or protect crops in several ways.
The most popular use of attractants is to lure pests to traps for control via the mass trapping strategy. Attractants can also be used to induce beneficial insects to come to, and stay in, crops for goals such as enhanced pollination or natural pest protection.
Our semiochemicals insect attractants are made up of compounds—like pheromones, plant volatiles, flower oils, sugars and proteins—that mimic insect attraction systems found in nature. By identifying processes already existing in nature, Gronic can use them to create sustainable technologies to manage insects.
How to use insect lures
Occasionally, pest populations are low enough that they can be controlled using traps. Gronic’s attractants can be used to effectively call pests to traps for control via the mass trapping strategy.
Gronic natural insect Lures can help or protect crops by calling on beneficial insects to do the work nature intended. Attract honeybees to pollinate plants and encourage fruit production. Attract natural predators, like ladybugs and lacewings, that can attack the pests causing damage to your plants.
