Product Detail and Specifications
The Rhinoceros Beetle feeds on the foliage of palm trees, leaving behind 'V' shaped cuts on the leaflets and bored holes, leading to premature fruit drop. The attack of the rhinoceros beetle can also attract other pests to the field. Proper management is crucial, as untreated infestations can cause entire trees to die. Beetle Lure with Bucket Trap helps to control rhinoceros beetle in coconut fields from the initial infestation stage.
