Abstract:
A system for the dissemination of pheromone bearing carrier substrates which system includes, an airplane/helicopter mountable carrier substrate dispenser, the actuation for release of the carrier substrates loaded therein being controlled from the cockpit of the airplane/helicopter; whereby a carrier substrate, having one A member card and at least one B member card is released upon actuation of the dispenser, for disposition of said carrier substrate within treetops or plant where the pheromone therefrom will be released automatically from the surface of the cards to dissipate into the ambient air and said pheromone will confuse male members of a particular pest insect such that the males are impeded in their efforts to locate females of that specie who would also be disseminating pheromone and thereby interfere with the mating cycle of such pest insects.
