The Tutaroll is an innovative product from Russell IPM for the management of Tuta absoluta. It is a clear

film coated with non-drying glue and treated with slow release Tuta absoluta pheromone formulation.

It is one cost effective pre-baited ready to use sticky roll. The Tutaroll ensures steady release of

attractant for longer period. Our extensive field studies also showed application of Tutaroll captures Tuta

absoluta successfully without affecting the beneficial’s Nesidiocoris tenuis or Trichogramma achaeae.

It is compatible with all sorts of biological control systems in place for the management of Tuta absoluta.

Sticky rolls for Tuta absoluta

■ Species specific attraction.

■ Significant reduction in the population of Tuta absoluta.

■ Fully compatible with other biological control programmes.

■ Insignificant accidental capture of Beneficial’s Nesidiocoris tenuis and Trichogramma achaeae.

lure. It is compatible with all sorts of

biological control systems in place for the

management of Tuta absoluta. Evaluation

trial of Tutaroll in green houses shows

it to be very effective in capturing Tuta

absoluta with an insignificant accidental

capture of Beneficial’s Nesidiocoris tenuis

and Trichogramma achaeae.

Fig 1. Effect of 2 metres Tutaroll in various crop heights after 24 hrs.

In field experiment it was showed that 24

hours after application maximum number of

580 moths were captured at 1.5m heights.

Therefore, the optimum height was proved to

be 1.5m (see fig 1). Results showed the ratio

between Tuta absoluta and Nesidiocoris tenuis

was insignificant 100:1.

To evaluate the impact of the distance

between the Tutaroll and tomato plant was

further studied. The Rolls positioned about 70 cm

from the plant captured no Nesidiocoris. Rolls

positioned next to the tomato plant captured

Nesidiocoris and the ratio increased up to 100:4.

A further study was conducted to compare the capture of Tuta absoluta and Nesidiocoris tenuis and found consistent result for a

longer period. The results after application of 24 hours showed at lower height catches of Tuta absoluta was significantly higher

(675 moths / 24hr) than that of upper height. At the same time beneficial insect Nesidiocoris tenuis capture in lower height 60-120cm

was zero. However, at 190cm only 3 Nesidiocoris tenuis were captured. 10 days after the application, a similar trend was followed

at a lower height and 60cm distance, Tutaroll captured 4988 Tuta absoluta moth and only one Nesidiocoris tenuis.

Tutaroll was also tested in the presence of Trichogramma achaeae. Again it proved

a consistent higher number of Tuta absoluta captured when the trap was placed

at a lower height. At all heights the capture of Trichogramma achaeae was zero,

therefore Tutaroll does not affect the activity of Trichogramma achaeae at all.

Considering all of the studies it is evident that Tutaroll clear is safe with a high

compatibility with other biological control systems. As it is clear in colour it is

not affecting the natural enemies Nesidiocoris tenuis or Trichogramma achaeae.

Russell IPM also offer its customer a

similar kind of Tuta absoluta pheromone

mediated yellow sticky rolls for use in

green houses where beneficial insects are

not in use as a biological control agents.

The yellow colour of the sticky rolls

adds an extra advantage of capturing

whitefly and aphids.
