UTM, in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture Johor, introduces Bactrogel, an innovative solution to combat fruit fly infestations threatening agriculture sectors globally. This low-cost and user-friendly insecticide offers effective protection for crops without chemical residues on the peel, preserving freshness and quality. Acting as a fruit impersonator, Bactrogel lures and kills fruit flies while deterring them from crops, making it an ideal choice for small-scale farmers and hobbyists seeking efficient pest control solutions. With its unique approach and benefits, Bactrogel presents a formidable option in a market with limited competition for solid insecticides, promising improved crop yields and reduced fruit fly damage.
