MOSCAMED Guatemala Program
MOSCAMED Guatemala partners with Better World Manufacturing Inc. to implement cutting-edge sterile insect technique (SIT) programs that control destructive pests like the Mediterranean fruit fly while eliminating pesticide use. This collaboration strengthens Guatemala's agricultural exports through sustainable pest management solutions, supports smallholder farmers with eco-friendly alternatives, and protects vital pollinator habitats through integrated beekeeping initiatives - ensuring both crop protection and environmental conservation across Central America's key growing regions.
Walnut Husk Fly Trap
The walnut husk trap is primarily employed for monitoring the presence of the walnut husk fly. It is recommended to install these traps by the end of June, prior to the emergence of adult flies from the soil. The trap's yellow color is particularly effective in attracting various airborne insects, such as fruit flies, thrips, aphids, gnats, and other fly species.
