The use of specific pheromones, such as aggregation pheromones for the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Halyomorpha halys), further enhances effectiveness, enabling targeted pest control.

Compared to conventional methods like pyramid traps or sticky panel traps, AGRI MO-EL devices show superior performance, with a capture ratio of 5:1.

The light attraction of the lamps has also proven effective on key fruit crop pests such as the Pear Psylla (Cacopsylla pyri) and Codling Moth (Cydia pomonella), thus expanding the scope of the technology to include the protection of tree crops.

These devices are especially valuable in defending Solanaceae crops — including tomato, potato, eggplant, and pepper — against highly damaging, polyphagous pests like Tuta absoluta and Helicoverpa armigera, which can compromise entire production cycles.

NOT JUST FLIES, WASPS, SANDFLIES, AND MOSQUITOES, BUT ALSO…

Xestia c-nigrum, the yellow underwing moth feared in horticulture, is also effectively controlled thanks to the combined action of UV light and suction.

Scientific collaboration with the Department of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences at the University of Perugia (UNIPG) has allowed for the refinement of every technical aspect of the traps, ensuring optimal performance in both protected environments and open fields.

AGRI MO-EL solutions are state-of-the-art tools, essential for integrated and sustainable agriculture that merges technological innovation, environmental protection, and increased productivity.
