Cuelure Plug
Synthetic male attractant for fruit fly detection and surveillance.
Cuelure Plug
Cuelure is a synthetic male attractant widely used in fruit fly surveillance programs to support detection, delimitation, and population tracking of specific fruit fly species.
As a male-specific lure, it helps agricultural and regulatory programs monitor fruit fly activity while supporting environmentally responsible insect pest surveillance practices.
As part of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies, Cuelure supports early detection and population assessment without relying on pesticides as part of the lure system.
Use & Application
Cuelure is deployed inside compatible surveillance traps as a male attractant for target fruit fly species.
It may be available in formats such as plugs, wicks, or lure dispensers, depending on trap configuration and program requirements.
When properly installed, Cuelure supports consistent field performance for surveillance, delimitation, and population monitoring activities.
Target Species Monitored
Cuelure is primarily used in surveillance programs targeting male fruit flies of the Bactrocera genus, including:
Bactrocera cucurbitae
Melon Fly
Compatible Trap Systems
Cuelure is used with compatible male fruit fly surveillance traps selected according to target species, lure format, and program requirements.
Common compatible systems include:
– Multi-Lure™ trapping systems
– Jackson-type traps
– Other compatible lure-based surveillance platforms
Environmental Impact
By supporting targeted insect detection without the use of pesticides as part of the lure system, Cuelure contributes to sustainable agriculture and environmentally responsible insect pest surveillance.
Its species-targeted use helps reduce unnecessary chemical applications, support early detection, and provide reliable field data for long-term surveillance and IPM programs.
