Koppert Biological Systems has expanded its Horiver sticky trap range with 4 new traps for monitoring and trapping pests like aphids, leaf miners, whiteflies, thrips and other harmful insects in a wide variety of crops.
‘The all-rounder Horiver continues to be the card with the best trapping capacity for more than 20 years. Still one of Koppert’s best-selling products today, it was time to further professionalize this tool to offer a more specialized selection of sticky traps to the increasingly professional horticulture and agriculture sectors,’ says Koppert Sales and Product Manager, Rick van der Pas. ‘With this new range of Horiver traps we can target specific insects for even better monitoring results.’
Horiver’s sticky traps make it possible to detect pests at an early stage, to then tackle them biologically. This avoids the unnecessary use of chemical agents. Moreover, by regularly conducting counts, it becomes clear when pests enter the greenhouse, how they develop, and when a population will reach its peak. In this way the grower is better prepared for potential threats.
Koppert will retain its all-rounder Horiver trap that gives the best results for catching multiple pests. The sticky card is the result of continuous research and development and has a firm place in the new Horiver range as a generalist. It monitors pest insects like whitefly, thrips, and leaf miner. A specially designed notch makes it easy to place in the crop. It is available in several colours as different pests are attracted to different colours.
