Biobest black soil roller for controlling and monitoring Tuta absoluta pest 30 cm × 100 m

Biobest Black Soil Roller 30 cm × 100 meters Bug-Scan® T-Roll Black is an agricultural sticky roller dedicated to monitoring and controlling Tuta absoluta pest inside greenhouses and fields, especially in tomato crops and sensitive crops to leaf borer infestations. The roller features an attractive black color for the pest, with a strong sticky surface on both sides that helps capture insects upon contact, making it a practical tool within integrated control programs. The roller measures 30 cm × 100 meters, suitable for distribution over large agricultural areas inside greenhouses or around cultivation zones. Its benefit is not limited to trapping but also helps monitor infestation levels and determine the appropriate intervention timing before damage expands on plants. Description of Biobest Black Soil Roller The black roller from Biobest is designed to act as a sticky barrier and a monitoring tool for Tuta absoluta, a serious pest that affects tomatoes and causes tunnels inside leaves, fruits, and stems, potentially leading to significant losses if not monitored early. The product relies on visual attraction through the black color, with a double-sided sticky surface to increase capture area. It can be used inside greenhouses horizontally or vertically depending on the design and system of cultivation. Placing the roller along rows or near entrances and ventilation openings helps intercept moving insects and reduces their spread within the crop.

The black color attracts the pest, supporting effective capture when placed correctly. Strong sticky surface on both sides to increase insect capture area. Suitable for use around plants, entrances, and ventilation openings inside greenhouses. Can be extended horizontally or vertically depending on the nature of cultivation and space. Relatively resistant to agricultural conditions inside greenhouses. Helps reduce reliance on pesticides when used as part of an integrated monitoring program. Does not rely on direct spraying, making it a supporting tool in integrated pest management programs. Suitable uses The Biobest Black Soil Roller is used in tomato farms and greenhouses requiring continuous monitoring of Tuta absoluta. It can be placed at the beginning of the growing season as an early monitoring measure or when insect activity is observed. It is also suitable for areas where infestations recur, as the roller helps assess pest pressure levels. When many insects are attached to the roller, farmers or agricultural specialists can evaluate the situation and decide whether to increase monitoring methods or introduce additional control measures based on the severity of infestation. Usage method It is preferable to install the roller at the beginning of the growing season or before increased activity of Tuta absoluta inside the greenhouse. It can be hung horizontally or vertically depending on the design of cultivation, ensuring it is at the level of insect movement and not far from the plant. Inside greenhouses, place the roller around entrances, ventilation openings, and at the edges of the greenhouse as a sticky barrier to reduce insect entry and spread. It can also be stretched between plant rows, leaving adequate space so that leaves or stems do not stick to the sticky surface. When the roller surface is filled with insects, dust, or plant residues, it is recommended to replace the affected part or change the roller according to the condition of the adhesive and capture efficiency. Handle carefully during installation to avoid sticking to hands, clothes, or plant parts. Recommended number of rollers The number depends on the size of the greenhouse or field, infestation severity, and distribution method. As a practical guideline, one roller can cover a large area when properly distributed, with increased quantities in high-infestation greenhouses or near entrances and ventilation openings. If used solely as a monitoring tool, limited and controlled distribution is sufficient. When used as part of a pest reduction plan, farmers may need wider coverage based on agricultural advice and crop nature. Important warnings during use Do not place the roller directly against plants to prevent leaves or branches from sticking to it. Maintain a suitable distance between the roller and plants, especially in dense crops. Do not rely solely on the roller in cases of severe infestation; use it as part of an integrated control program. Regularly inspect the roller to assess infestation levels and appropriate intervention timing. Replace dirty or insect-filled parts to maintain capture efficiency. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight before use. Avoid contact of the sticky surface with skin or clothing during installation. Leave the roller at room temperature for a suitable period before installation if stored in a cold place, to facilitate unfolding and use. Why use the black roller with Tuta absoluta? Tuta absoluta is a pest that is difficult to manage if detected late, as it can penetrate plant tissues and cause tunnels in leaves and damage to fruits. Therefore, early monitoring is very important, especially in greenhouse tomato cultivation. The black roller helps in practically tracking insect activity because the presence of insects on the sticky surface indicates infestation levels. Early detection makes it easier to organize control programs and reduce potential losses.

Frequently Asked Questions What is the use of the Biobest Black Soil Roller? Used for monitoring and controlling Tuta absoluta pest inside greenhouses and fields, especially in tomato crops. Is the black roller a complete replacement for pesticides? No, it is an aid in monitoring and reducing insect numbers, preferably used within an integrated control program when there is clear infestation. Where is the roller installed? It can be placed between rows, around entrances, near ventilation openings, and at the edges of the greenhouse, with a suitable distance from plants. When should the roller be replaced? It should be replaced or the used part changed when filled with insects, dust, or when the adhesive efficiency decreases. Is it suitable for open fields? It can be used in open fields, but its effectiveness is clearer with correct distribution and depending on wind, dust, and infestation severity conditions. Conclusion The 30 cm × 100 m Biobest Black Soil Roller is a practical choice for farmers needing a specialized method to monitor and track Tuta absoluta inside greenhouses and tomato farms. Proper use helps early detection of infestation, monitoring pest density, and supporting an integrated control program before infestation worsens and causes greater crop losses.
