Vynyty Tuta Press for Tuta Absoluta

HOW VYNYTY TUTA PRESS WORKS:

A plant protection product in the form of a vapour-producing product (VP) containing active substances (pheromones) released continuously. The product is designed to attract and disorient male tomato leafminer moths, thereby hindering mating, which consequently leads to a reduction in pest occurrence.

The Press technology is based on the use of an innovative microcapsule with gradual release. The preparation consists of 100% biodegradable polymers of natural origin (oil and wax) and contains no microplastics. The product is in gel form in aluminium tubes.

VYNYTY TUTA PRESS ACTIVE SUBSTANCE CONTENT:

Straight-chain moth pheromones (acetate of (E,Z,Z)-3,8,11-tetradecatrien-1-yl + acetate of (E,Z)-3,8-tetradecatrien-1-yl) – 31 g/kg (3.10%)

VYNYTY TUTA PRESS SCOPE OF USE, TIMING AND DOSES:

Ready-to-use product intended for spot application. The product is placed on a neutral growing medium (e.g. stakes, chains or wires) in a greenhouse using a compressed air applicator, ensuring no direct contact of the product with the plants.

How to use Vynyty Tuta Press:

To apply VYNYTY Tuta Press, place the aluminium sachet with pheromone inside a transparent plastic airtight cylinder. Then, using a compressor or pump, fill the plastic cylinder with air to a pressure of 6 bars.

To start dosing the preparation, firmly tighten the cylinder cap, screw in the application tube and press the trigger. The size of the gel drop should be equal to the size of a 5p or £2 coin, corresponding to a mass of 1.3 to 1.7 g. A higher dose should be used in case of greater pest pressure.
