Control Measures:

• APS nanomatrix technology to monitor and control of Rhinoceros beetlesis very effective over existing commercial lures as it has extended field efficacy with a lower load of pheromone.

• This technology is developed jointly by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research and the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre of Advanced Scientific Research.

• Trapping of rhinoceros beetles using APS RB-Lure(aggregation pheromone lures) in food-baited (such as dates or sugarcane) APS bucket trap forms an important component of the management strategy.

• APS Bucket trap with APS RB-Lure@ 1 per ha Know More
