IOBC VIII Workshop on Integrated Soft Fruit Production

Control of Drosophila suzukii has relied on repeated applications of full cover broad-spectrum insecticides. In an effort to develop a more integrated pest management (IPM) program, studies were conducted in California during 2013 and 2014 into the use of low-volume technique using attractant bait combine with an insecticide. In 2014, studies demonstrated that low-volume (46,8L/ha) applications of the combination of spinosad with Suzukii Trap bait resulted in the significant reduction of D.s...

III International Conference on Pheromones, Lure, Traps and Biological Control: Tools for Integrated Protection.

The new demands regarding the quality of food and the largest movement of species of fruit flies around the world because of the fruit trade have made it necessary to improved pest control strategies in fruit, citrus and vine crops. At the beginning of the 21st century, Bioiberica developed a new system of liquid attractant (Cera Trap®) of great specificity and high efficacy for use not only in monitoring but also in mass trapping. This new line of biological attractants free of pesticides ...

VII Iberian Congress of Agricultural Engineering and Horticultural Sciences

Crop-Scan® is a diagnosis service of crop stress, based on aerial images obtained by remote sensing with thermal and multispectral cameras in manned aircraft. This technology allows integrating on a map, with an optimized spatial and temporal resolution, different physiological parameters that provide representative data of the condition and development of the crop in each part of the assessed plot. Crop-Scan® is implemented to work on woody crops, as fruit trees, citrus, vineyard and oliv...

8th National Congress of Applied Entomology

Suzukii Trap ®, developed by the R & D Department of Bioiberica, is a food attractant specifically designed to capture Drosophila suzukii, with a great power of attraction and easy handling. The data collected show that Suzukii Trap® can be used as an agile monitoring system, stable and with permanent effectiveness throughout the season. Unlike other organic liquids used, Suzukii Trap ® is a transparent and stable formulation, which does not generate precipitates or mucilages which ma...
