Tuta Pro Press is a passive diffusion medium deposited on inert support and collecter at the end of the season – cardboard medium – or not – deposit on greenhouse’s support structures.
Tuta Pro Press can be used between 31 g and 46.5 g of active substance (pheromone) per hectare, corresponding to a range between 4 and 6 pouches.
A unique formulation process
The technology of microencapsultaion patented by M2i is based on the dispersion of an organic mixture (natural wax, natural oil and active substance) in an aqueous phase (water and polymer). At the end of this process, the organic phase containing the active substance (here a pheromone) is trapped in polymer microcapsules.
