Agape Innovations Limited: Uganda’s Home of Pheromone Lures for Sustainable Crop Protection

As agriculture continues to evolve in the face of climate change, pesticide resistance, and consumer demand for safe food, the need for effective, eco-friendly pest management solutions has never been greater. Agape Innovations Limited, a Ugandan agritech company based in Kampala, is leading the way in offering pheromone-based pest control solutions that empower farmers to manage pests sustainably and cost-effectively.

Pheromone Lures: A Smarter Approach to Pest Control

Pheromone lures are a type of semiochemical pest control method that use synthetic versions of insect sex pheromones to attract specific pests into traps. By mimicking the natural chemical signals used by insects to find mates, these lures can selectively trap and monitor harmful pests in the field without affecting non-target species.

Unlike broad-spectrum chemical pesticides, pheromone lures are species-specific, environmentally friendly, and non-toxic to humans, animals, and pollinators. They are especially valuable for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs and organic farming systems.

Our Range of Pheromone Lures

At Agape Innovations Limited, we supply and distribute high-performance pheromone lures and trapping systems for the following major agricultural pests:

  1. Melon Fly (Bactrocera cucurbitae)
    Common in cucurbits like watermelon, cucumber, and pumpkin, this pest causes significant fruit damage and losses. Our lures attract and trap adult melon flies before they lay eggs.
  2. Helicoverpa armigera (African Bollworm)
    A major pest of tomatoes, cotton, legumes, and maize. Our pheromone traps help farmers detect and suppress populations early, minimizing crop damage and pesticide use.
  3. False Codling Moth (Thaumatotibia leucotreta)
    This pest is a major threat to citrus, avocado, and other fruits. Our lures are designed to support export-oriented farmers who must meet strict phytosanitary requirements.
  4. Fruit Fly (Bactrocera dorsalis)
    A serious pest of mango, guava, and passion fruit. We offer effective male-specific lures that enable mass trapping and suppression to reduce fruit loss and increase marketability.
  5. Thrips (Frankliniella spp.)
    Tiny insects that cause both physical damage and virus transmission in flowers and vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, and peppers. Our traps use attractants that help in monitoring and early control.
  6. Tuta absoluta (Tomato Leafminer)
    One of the most devastating pests of tomato crops. Our pheromone solutions offer a reliable way to monitor and reduce Tuta populations without excessive chemical spraying.
