Usage tips

ECODIAN ® CT w should be installed before the beginning of the flights of the two species, i.e. from mid-June to early July. It is advisable to install TRAPTEST ® traps in the plot in which disruption is to be employed, in order to monitor the quantities of flights of the insects.
The device (thread), should be cut into segments of approximately 6 metres in length and hooked onto the branches as high as possible (we recommend the use of a telescopic pole). The segments should be installed as evenly as possible through the plot.
In the case of newly planted intensive chestnut groves with regular distancing, the thread can be placed horizontally along the rows at an indicative height of 3 to 3.5 metres (first branch), maintaining the indicated dosage of 900 m/ hectare.
It is also advisable to install pieces of thread along the outer perimeter of the chestnut grove.
The amount of thread to be installed per hectare is approximately 900 metres, depending on the type of chestnut grove.
The life of the diffuser is influenced by climatic conditions, in particular temperatures, wind levels and exposure to
sunlight. Under normal climatic conditions it lasts 70 to 80 days
