The False Coddling Moth (FCM) Trap is a targeted pest management solution designed to protect avocados from the destructive false coddling moth. Using a pheromone-based lure system, the trap attracts and captures male moths, disrupting their breeding cycle and reducing infestations.
👉 For control of FCM in avocados, install the traps at the onset of flowering to achieve maximum effectiveness. Early installation helps farmers monitor pest activity, apply timely interventions, and minimize fruit damage throughout the growing season.
Key benefits include:
-
🌱 Eco-friendly – pheromone-based, safe for crops and non-toxic.
-
🎯 Effective FCM control – prevents moth reproduction and infestation.
-
🕒 Best timing – install at the onset of flowering for optimal results.
-
🥑 Protects avocado quality – reduces fruit damage and supports export standards.
-
💰 Cost-effective – lowers need for heavy pesticide spraying.
Essential for both smallholder and commercial avocado farms, the FCM Trap is a cornerstone of sustainable pest control programs.
