ProBandz® is a natural food bait adjuvant containing 54–58% sugars, designed to improve fruit fly control when mixed with authorised insecticides.

It stimulates target pests such as spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, to feed on the spray mix, increasing insecticide uptake for faster control while significantly reducing insecticide use, spray volume, labour and fuel costs.

How to Use

ProBandz® is recommended for use as a bait spray.

Add ProBandz® to the insecticidal spray mix at a 5% spray mix rate, equivalent to:

  • 1 litre ProBandz® per 20 litres of spray mix

Use a low water volume:

  • 40 litres spray volume per hectare for soft fruit
  • 80 litres spray volume per hectare for tree fruit

Reduce the insecticide rate to 4–8% of the full recommended label rate per hectare.

Apply as a band treatment, covering 4–8% of the crop canopy. Direct the spray away from fruit and flowers to help reduce pesticide residues on fruit and preserve pollinators and predators in the flowers.

ProBandz® may also be added to a full-volume spray application, provided the insecticide rate does not exceed 50% of the full recommended rate and all statutory conditions of use for the pesticide are followed.

Always follow the statutory conditions of use for the authorised plant protection product being used.
