MagiPal

A natural enemy attractant and pest repellent

MagiPal is a specially formulated attractant, which attracts naturally occurring predators and parasitoids into an area. These important natural enemies contribute to the management of the target pests, typically reducing pest numbers by 40-80% in field trials.

Benefits of Magipal

  • Attracts predators into the crop before pest numbers reach damaging levels

  • Increasing predator numbers has been shown to reduce numbers of whiteflies, thrips, aphids, leaf hoppers, caterpillars, suckers and midges
  • Ensures a more even spread of natural enemies throughout the crop.
  • Delays the build-up of pest hot-spots
  • Combine with traps and lures for push-pull strategy
  • Lasts 2-3 months (temperature dependent)
  • Safe to use and pesticide-free
Magipal Brochure

MagiPal is a specially formulated attractant, which attracts naturally occurring predators and parasitoids into an area. These important natural enemies contribute to the management of the target pests, typically reducing pest numbers by 40-80% in field trials.

Magipal has been tested in a variety of crops such as tree, fruit and vegetable crops. Magipal comes in an easy-to-use compact blister pack that can be hung in the crop, resulting in a steady release of the natural enemy attractant.

Peel the silver foil of the back of the lure without piercing the plastic film to release the attractant.

Use 100-120 lures per hectare in a grid pattern throughout the crop (at 10 m intervals.) Extra lures can be placed in pest hot-spots as required. Place the lures at or above crop height. Replace lures every 2-3 months, or as recommended by your advisor.

When using a push-pull strategy, place traps between the MagiPal lures.  Seek further advice on recommendations for specific crops and pests from you advisor.
