Cuelure Plugs
Cuelure is a synthetic attractant used primarily for monitoring and controlling fruit flies, particularly the oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) and other related species.
Uses of Cuelure Plugs:
1. Attracting Fruit Flies: Cuelure plugs attract male fruit flies, especially Bactrocera spp., to traps for monitoring and pest control.
2. Monitoring Infestations: These plugs are used in traps to detect and track the population of fruit flies in orchards or fields.
3. Pest Management: By attracting and capturing fruit flies, cuelure plugs help reduce pest populations and minimize damage to crops like citrus, mangoes, and peaches.
Common Traps Used with Cuelure Plugs:
