Methyl eugenol
Methyl eugenol (4-allyl-1, 2-dimethoxybenzene-carboxylate) is a chemical compound that naturally found in > 200 plants and abundantly found in various essential oils, including basil and certain varieties of clove oil. It acts as a powerful attractant or pheromone for certain species of fruit flies. Lab synthesized methyl eugenol is widely used for its multiple applications. It is known for its sweet, fruity aroma. It is potent attractant of fruit flies and also is used in the food and fragrance industries.
In agriculture, traps containing methyl eugenol are commonly used in agriculture to monitor and control the fruit fly population in orchards and other fruit crops.
Cuelure
Cue-lure acts as an attractant of melon flies. It does not occur naturally. But it rapidly hydrolyzed to form 4-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone i.e., rheosimin, or raspberry ketone (RK), which is a natural plant constituent. Cue-lure is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a raspberry-like odor. Raspberry Ketone was originally isolated from an orchid, superbum Rchb. F, and is found in raspberries and in the juice of cranberries. Apparently, the name C-L is derived from the scientific name of the target species, the melon fly, Bacterocera cucurbitae (Coquillett). It is used to control the infestation caused by melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbit in all cucurbitae family crops.
The traps baited with cue-lure are used to catch the melon fly and reduce its population
SILICON SPREADER/ STICKER FOR AGRICULTURE
STICK-N-SPREAD is an innovative agricultural adjuvant designed to enhance the efficiency of agrochemical applications. As a powerful non-ionic spreader, it ensures uniform coverage, improved penetration, and optimized performance for your crop management practices.
- Optimized Performance: By improving the interaction between agrochemicals and plant surfaces, STICK-N-SPREAD maximizes treatment performance. This results in healthier plants, improved pest and disease control, and ultimately, higher crop yields.
- Non-Ionic Formulation: STICK-N-SPREAD features a specialized non-ionic formula, making it compatible with a wide range of agrochemicals, including herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides.
- Uniform Coverage: With STICK-N-SPREAD, you can achieve uniform coverage across your crops. This eradicates gaps and untreated areas, ensuring that every part of your field receives the required treatment for optimal growth and protection.
- Enhanced Penetration: The advanced formulation of STICK-N-SPREAD enhances agrochemical absorption and adhesion to plant surfaces. This improved penetration translates into enhanced efficacy, as agrochemicals are efficiently absorbed by the plants, leading to better protection and growth promotion.
- Reduced Runoff: STICK-N-SPREAD is engineered to minimize runoff, preventing excessive dripping of agrochemicals from treated plants. This not only minimizes waste but also ensures a higher proportion of applied agrochemicals remains on the plants, maximizing their overall impact.
