Red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) - kairomone attractant

RPW-MAGNET is a powerful kairomone attractant designed to enhance the effectiveness of Red Palm Weevil pheromone traps. Formulated with Acetic esters, it attracts both male and female weevils, significantly increasing trap catches when used alongside aggregation pheromone lures. It is ideal for monitoring and mass trapping programs in coconut, arecanut, date palm, and oil palm plantations. Regular use helps reduce pest populations, minimize crop damage, and improve plantation productivity.
