ISCA Technologies, a leading supplier of environmentally friendly pest control products, introduced a new product for the monitoring and mass trapping of Phyllocnistis citrella, the citrus leafminer. ISCAlure for Citrus Leafminer is a kit that uses nature-identical pheromone lures to attract the pest into a sticky trap where it is captured. Each kit includes two traps and two pheromone lures along with a species-specific instruction and information sheet.
“Citrus leafminer (CLM) has become a huge problem in Florida not only because of the leaf damage, but also due to the potential for damage from citrus canker. ISCAlure for Citrus Leafminer helps to monitor the levels of citrus leafminer in order to effectively time my sprays and other control actions, and with mass trapping, also keeps citrus leafminer populations down between sprays. Using the ISCAlure has allowed me to spray less frequently than we are used to,” says Barbara Granger, owner of Spyke’s Grove in Davie, Florida. “By offering these kits to our customers, we can offer a great new product to manage this pest.”
“ISCA has a long history of developing safe, effective and environmentally friendly products using pheromones,”
“The ISCAlure for Citrus Leafminer is the top performing CLM pheromone lure in the market. Scientific side-by-side testing with trap rotation has been done to verify that our ISCAlure clearly outperforms competitors,”
ISCAlure for Citrus Leafminer is available at selected retailers. To purchase, please contact Spyke’s Grove (www.spykesgrove.com)
