Colour Matrix

• Opting for this specific shade of blue was influenced by the colours ability to maximise thrips catches by an impressive 53-87% in greenhouses.

Visual Pattern

• A pattern that optimises the catch rate of Western Flower Thrips and Thrips major by up to 25% according to UK field trials in Strawberries, 2015.

Adhesive

• Using a specially formulated thermostable glue allows Trapline t+ to be more effective, as it’s able to perform in temperatures as low as 10°C and as high as 85°C.

Attraction pheromone

• The incorporation of Thripline pheromone in the glue maximises the attraction of Western Flower Thrips. In fact, UK trials in Strawberries revealed the thrip catch increased by 30-100%. Plus, Microencapsulation of the pheromone ensures release for more than 5 weeks.
