Amourose Beneficial Insect Attractant Lure - IPM Predator Support

Amourose works by releasing a natural attractant that draws beneficial predatory insects into the crop. These predators then feed on pest species, helping to suppress populations organically.

By increasing predator presence early in the season, growers can:

• Improve biological control performance
  
• Reduce reliance on chemical pesticides
  
• Strengthen crop resilience
  
• Maintain ecosystem balance
  

Beneficial species attracted include:

• Anthocoridae (e.g. Orius spp.)
  
• Ladybirds (e.g. Scymnus, Hippodamia)
  
• Hoverflies (Syrphidae)
  
• Lacewings (Chrysopidae)
  
• Parasitic wasps (e.g. Diadegma spp., Aphidiidae)
  

Target pests affected include:

• Aphids
  
• Leafhoppers (jassids)
  
• Lepidoptera larvae
  
• Pear sucker
  
• Pear leaf midge
  
• Thrips
  
• 
  Whiteflies
  

Amourose is designed for use within a structured IPM strategy and supports both hobby and commercial crop production.

• Remove the metallic layer from the lure pack.
  
• Hang lures at or slightly above crop height.
  
• Distribute lures in a grid pattern for even coverage.
  

Trap Density

• Protected cropping (greenhouse / tunnel): 1 lure per structure
  
• Open-field crops: 1 lure every 10 metres
  

Replacement

• Replace each lure every 2–3 months for continuous effectiveness.
  

When to Use

• Suitable for year-round use in protected and outdoor systems.
  
• Apply early in the growing cycle for maximum preventative benefit.
