Twin-spectrum anti-insect light traps

Ecological protection against destructive pests in greenhouses

An Abiotec innovation

The properties of the twin-spectrum Insectron^® make it a continuous, effective, natural, simple and economical means of optimising the control and monitoring of insects. Abiotec insect exterminators are on the way to becoming an essential weapon in the armoury of producers in the horticultural and market gardening sectors aiming for zero phytotoxicity.

Abiotec twin-spectrum insect control devices are a must in any insecticide reduction programme.

Mastering this technology enables producers to find out which insect populations are present at each stage of production and thus prevent the risk of devastation. Gaining a better understanding of the insects, quantifying and analysing them reduces curative treatments and improves reaction times.

Abiotec’s Insectron^® SERRE range is ideal for protecting a greenhouse against insect attack.

The twin-spectrum Insectrons^®

Abiotec’s research into the sensitivity of insects to various wavelengths has led to a new innovation: the B/V version of the Insectron^® range.

Two wavelengths are particularly attractive to provide even greater effectiveness.

The research department of the University of Groningue (Netherlands) has shown that the combination of a UV-A lamp and a green lamp has a much greater attractive power than UV-A lamps alone, particularly on the Lepidoptera family.

Active over surface areas of up to 950 m2

Tests carried out in collaboration with the CTIFL have shown that the surface area over which an Abiotec twin-spectrum Insectron^® can attract insects was approximately 1000 m^² i.e. ten twin-spectrum Insectrons^® to protect a hectare of greenhouses.
