Insect trap CROSSTRAP® TA228

for crops

CROSSTRAP® MINI TRANSPARENT WITH WET COLLECTION CUP state-of-the-art in cross-vane traps to help capture forest pests. This trap is product of an R &; D project (University of Murcia - ECONEX) aimed at developing traps and attractants for forest pests. It is a trap that is used without bait, usually for research. The trap consists of a polypropylene lid, 33 cm in diameter with a central carabiner attached to a steel spring. Two reinforced sheets of transparent blue PVC are held in place by four steel springs in the lid's upper section, serving as shock absorbers against strong winds. This helps to avoid damage to the trap. In the lower section, the reinforced PVC sheets are held in place by a polypropylene funnel, 30 cm in diameter and four steel springs. The CROSSTRAP® WET COLLECTION CUP for the captured insects is in the lower section of the funnel and is attached by metal screws. The wet collection cup has approximately a 2 litre capacity (12,5 cm diameter x 19 cm height) and is provided with drainage in the upper section to prevent it from filling with rainwater. Wet catches allow the precise identification of insects. It is therefore recommended to fill the collection cup with 10 ml of propylene gl
