Cover crop seed for Philippine plantations
Legume cover crop seed, SoilBoost EA soil conditioner and Kudzu RB Lure for rhinoceros beetle monitoring and mass-trapping. Supplied to plantations across the Philippines from Davao City.
Important: About Our Name. Pueraria javanica is NOT invasive kudzu
Kudzu Seeds Trading supplies Pueraria javanica (PJ), a beneficial tropical legume used across Southeast Asian plantations for erosion control and nitrogen fixation. It is a different species from Pueraria montana, the invasive “kudzu” vine regulated in parts of the USA, but it is a vigorous legume with weed potential in humid tropical environments (Tropical Forages). P. javanica belongs in managed plantation systems; check local rules before planting. Our seed is germination- and purity-tested to ISTA and AOSA methods.

Integrated pest management
Rhinoceros beetle monitoring and mass-trapping for plantations
Kudzu RB Lure is an aggregation-pheromone lure (ethyl 4-methyloctanoate) for mass-trapping adult coconut rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) in oil palm and coconut plantations. It is a monitoring and population-reduction tool used as part of an integrated pest management program, not a pesticide, and it makes no eradication guarantee. Manufactured for Chemiseed Sdn. Bhd. by ChemTica International, S.A. (Costa Rica); supplied in the Philippines by Kudzu Seeds Trading.
For young and replanted palms
Oryctes adults bore into palm crowns and spears. Mass pheromone trapping is used to reduce adult beetle numbers during the vulnerable establishment stage.
Not a pesticide; fits IPM programmes
Traps attract adult beetles with a pheromone. Use them alongside sanitation of breeding sites such as decaying logs and compost heaps. Results vary with trap density, placement and local beetle pressure.
Completes the establishment program
Pairs with Kudzu cover crops for ground cover and erosion control, and with SoilBoost EA for soil conditioning.
