Treatment is recommended when observing the first larvae; although a first application can be made when the adults have left their shelters, and a second application when the larval peak occurs.

FuturCrop is a software that calculates daily the conditions that modify the life cycle of pests. When a change occurs, it informs the user of the opportune moment to carry out the most efficient control treatment, and thus reduce the number of treatments and their costs.

Life cycle states calculated by FuturCrop

• 1st generation :
  • Start tracking egg density
  • Peak egg density
  • Peak density of first and second instar larvae
• 2nd generation
  • Start egg density tracking,
  • Peak egg density
  • Peak density of larvae of first and second larval stage, etc.

If you are registered in FuturCrop you will receive an email 7 days in advance when the pest will be in one of the following states.

The software is updated daily according to weather conditions, and sends an email informing the date on which the biological change of the pest finally occurs.
