About HEDO Brinjal Fruit & Shoot Borer Pheromone Lure Crop Protection
The egg plant fruit & shoot borer or commonly known as Brinjal fruit-shoot borer is a insect species in the genus Leucinodes. It is found throughout the tropics in Asia and Africa.
Brinjal fruit & shoot borer (BFSB) is a very important pest on brinjal and is one of the main impediments to brinjal production.
It is an internal borer which damages the tender shoots and fruits.
The yield loss varies from season to season and from location to location.
It can also attack other crops such as other Solanaceae (e.g. potato, tomato).
Attracting Insect Species- Brinjal Fruit and Shoot Borer(Leucinodes orbonalis)
Damages- It is the most important and destructive pest of brinjal in India. Sometimes, it also seriously infests potato crop.
Damage to the plant is caused mainly by the larvae, which bores through the terminal part of the midrib of large leaves and tender shoots to cause “dead hearts”. Later on, it also enters into flower buds and fruits.
The infested terminal shoots and fruits ultimately drop out. The pest can cause 70 to 100% damage to the brinjal crops and up to 40% damage to the potato crops
Technology- Insect Sex Pheromone Technology. It is the process of attraction and trapping the insect pest of specific Species those damage to crops.

Leucinodes Orbonalis Trap & Lure
Mode of Action
Scent Emission (Lure) : The Brinjal Pheromone Lure releases a synthetic chemical scent that mimics the natural sex hormone (pheromone) of female borer moths.
Attraction : Adult male moths fly toward the trap, falsely believing a female is present for mating.
Confinement (Funnel Trap) : Guided by the scent, the males enter the wide mouth of the Funnel Trap, fall through the narrow funnel opening into the lower collection bag or basin, and become trapped
Mating Disruption & Population Control : Removing male moths reduces successful mating in the field. This sharply drops the number of viable eggs laid, cutting down the next generation of borer larvae that damage plant shoots and fruits
