Innovation with Kairomone based
Insect Attractants
Attract and Kill
Bioglobal’s kairomone products are innovative insect attractants designed to lure adult insects to baited food sources. When integrated with pesticide use or with insect traps, these products effectively eliminate adult insects, which in turn reduce the number of eggs and larvae and minimize damage to crops.
Kairomone Based Products
Bioglobal's flagship kairomone based product is BioAttract-heli, it is a broadacre sprayable attractant and feeding stimulant bait product that can be used by growers of maize, cotton, soybean, groundnuts, sorghum, sugarcane, tobacco and potato to manage noctuid moth infestations. This product has demonstrated robust and consistent attraction for 32 specific pests, with the capability to potentially lure 46 additional varieties.
Bioglobal also has kairomone-based lures which can be used for both monitoring and controlling purposes These lures generally have longer duration of field activity than the sprayable formulations.

How do Insect Attractants Work?
Moths attracted by the mixture of kairomones, feed on the mixture like a bait and then are neutralized by a suitable insecticide that is added to the mixture prior to application to the host crop.
Kairomones are semiochemicals that evoke a behavioral (releaser effect) or physiological response (primer effect) in the receiver of the signal that is adaptively favorable to the receiver but not the emitter.
Female moths can lay over 500 to 1,500 eggs during their fertile period. By killing moths before they can lay their eggs, the number of eggs and larvae in the crop will be greatly reduced and hence able to achieve an increased control level.
