  • Leaves 0% residue on fresh pro­duce.
  • Slow-release pheromone incorporated into adhesive layer.

Optiroll Black Tuta+ is an innovative product from Russell IPM for the management of Tuta absoluta, the tomato leaf miner moth. These pest management tool consists of a black (Optiroll Black) film coated with non-drying glue and treated with a slow release Tuta absoluta pheromone formulation.

For use in tomato crops against Tuta absoluta. Hang the roller traps between greenhouse posts throughout the greenhouse and around the edge of the crop from planting for the best effect.
