  • The trap must not touch any leaves and branches and must not be exposed to direct sunlight (Mount it inside the crown of the tree and in the middle of its height).
  • Application dosage: One trap per tree with 50 traps maximum per decare. The suspension of the trap must take place after the fructification and before the fruit starts to mature.
