ICAR-CISH TRAP 1

Advance Information*

The ICAR-CISH TRAP 1 is a cutting-edge Automated Color Changing Solar Light Insect Trap designed specifically for farmers and agricultural professionals. This innovative product features dual compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) that alternate in a cyclic pattern between violet and black colors, expertly attracting a wide array of insects from different orders while minimizing the risk of non-target species. With its comprehensive illumination coverage of up to 1 hectare, the trap employs an advanced automation system that regulates operating hours, complemented by a sophisticated rain sensor. Additionally, it incorporates a restrictor that confines light emission to within a 185-foot radius, effectively reducing the possibility of vacuum cleaning effects that conventional traps often suffer from. The ICAR-CISH TRAP 1 is equipped with a safe electric mesh designed to shield small beneficial insects and invertebrates, ensuring the ecological balance in your farms. By emitting wavelengths between 320 nm and 360 nm, it enhances insect attraction, making it highly effective across diverse crops such as vegetables, mangoes, pomegranates, cotton, sugarcane, pulses, and rice. This groundbreaking technology has been invented and approved by the Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) - Central Institute for Subtropical Horticulture (CISH), assuring users of its efficacy and reliability. Furthermore, investing in the ICAR-CISH TRAP 1 guarantees a payback within one crop cycle, making it a wise financial decision for sustainable pest management.
