Farmer Bench Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle Trap Kit (Trap + Lure)

Rhinoceros Beetle is one of the most common and damaging pests in coconut plantations. Adult beetles enter the crown region of the palm and feed on tender growing tissues. This can lead to cut and damaged leaves, weak growth, reduced vigour, and in young palms even severe crop stress.

The Farmer Bench Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle Trap Kit is designed to help farmers monitor and reduce Rhinoceros Beetle population in coconut fields using a pheromone-based trapping method.

This kit contains:

• 1 reusable trap

• 1 Rhinoceros Beetle pheromone lure

The lure attracts adult Rhinoceros Beetles into the trap, helping in pest monitoring and trapping. This makes it a practical tool for integrated pest management in coconut farms.

Why this product is useful in coconut farms

Rhinoceros Beetle infestation is common in coconut-growing regions, especially where there is decaying organic matter, unmanaged breeding sites, or favourable humid conditions. If not monitored properly, adult beetles can repeatedly attack the crown region of palms.

Using a pheromone trap helps farmers:

• monitor beetle activity in the field

• trap adult beetles attracted to the lure

• reduce pest pressure in the farm environment

• support an integrated and field-friendly pest management approach

• avoid relying only on repeated chemical spraying

1 Trap

A sturdy trap unit designed for field use. The trap body is reusable and can be installed in coconut farms for trapping Rhinoceros Beetles when used along with the lure.
