How IT WORKS Zonatrac is dispensed manually using a dispensing gun directly on the plant, it can also be applied mechanically. It is recommended to apply 100 dollops per hectare. Each point contains 2 grams of Zonatrac per dollop. Zonatrac should be placed in each tree and in case of larger orchards dollops can be placed 5m apart from each other.

Field Trials of Zonatrac Attract and Kill System Zonatrac has been evaluated in peach against Bactrocera zonata. Application of Zonatrac attract and kill system reduced Bactrocera zonata populations substantially. Zonatrac formulation remained active over a period of 9-12 weeks against peach fruit fly. Zonatrac is a very good candidate for Male Annihilation Technique and can be used to reduce the number of male fruit flies.
