Tutaroll


For the targeted and effective mass trapping of Tuta absoluta

Tutaroll is an innovative product from Russell IPM for the management of Tuta absoluta, the tomato leaf miner moth. The pest management tool consists of a clear film coated with non-drying glue and treated with a slow release Tuta absoluta pheromone formulation.
Field trials demonstrated how Tutaroll was able to capture Tuta absoluta successfully with minimal effect on beneficial insects such as Nesidiocrosis tenuis or Trichogramma achaeae. Therefore, Tutaroll can be recommended for safe use with a range of biological control systems.

Benefits of the Tutaroll
  • Ensures a steady release of attractant
  • Species-specific to reduce attraction to beneficials
  • Fully compatible with other biological control systems
