Composition

Drosinal contains a combination of various food ingredients. It does not contain pesticides or pheromones.

General Information

Drosinal is a product designed to monitor the presence of the spotted wing drosophila (SWD) at soft fruit plantations. It is a kit consisting of a trap and a liquid.

The trap has a very solid structure. It will last several seasons.

Drosinal liquid is a combination of various food ingredients that are very attractive to SWD. In addition, the shape and colours of the trap enhance the product effectiveness in monitoring Drosophila suzukii.

Successful monitoring

The mesh in entry holes ensures partial selectivity of the trap – insects larger than Drosophila are not caught.

A characteristic feature of the liquid is its very low surface tension. Once insects touch the liquid they drown immediately, unable to fly away.

Drosinal is intended solely for monitoring the presence of Spotted Wing Drosophila. If the pest is detected, appropriate approved measures should be taken to control it.

Monitoring Procedure

Drosinal is intended for use in places of the SWD potential habitation, e.g. at berry plantations, cherry orchards, vineyards and surrounding areas.

  1. Begin monitoring about one month before fruit ripening.
  2. Traps should be placed in plantations and orchards, as well as in neighbouring areas, in shaded spots.
  3. Place the traps at the fruiting level of berry bushes, at a height of approximately 1.5 metres in orchards, and directly above the plants in strawberry fields.
  4. For optimal population monitoring, use at least 2–3 traps per ha.
  5. Traps should be checked every 3–4 days. If necessary, the liquid should be refilled to ensure that the trap is always filled up to about 1/3 of its volume.

Drosophila suzukii – a growing threat to soft fruit production

Drosophila suzukii is a highly destructive pest that threatens soft fruit production in many regions of the world, including Europe. Effective management requires an integrated approach, with proper monitoring playing a crucial role. The Drosinal trap enables early detection of the pest, helping growers assess its presence and take timely action.
