Brown marmorated stink bug pheromone (Halyomorpha halys)

Brown marmorated stink bugs are invasive sucking insects that cause serious economic damage to a wide range of fruit, grain and vegetable crops.

Packaging

1 pc.

Transport and storage

The lures can be stored for long periods (several years) in a freezer (at about -20˚C) if the pack is sealed. Alternatively, store in a cool dry place or refrigerate until use. Shelf life can vary from 3-36 months depending on the storage temperature. See technical data sheet for further details. Although the pheromone is not harmful to humans, lures should not be kept in a freezer or fridge where food is stored.

PURPOSE AND APPLICATION

Target pest:

Brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys).

Crops:

Grapes, fruit and gourds, corn, beans, ornamental plants.

Application:

Remove the bait from the sachet, place it in the center of the trap and place it at a height of 1.5-2 m. For monitoring, the density of baits should be at least 1 per hectare, but less than 2 per farm. The most suitable trap to use with pheromone bait is the deltoid trap. It is recommended to start using baits even before the development of the first generation of the pest, and continue until the end of the season.

Remove the packaging and place one lure on each trap. Lures should be changed every 10 -12 weeks to get the most accurate results.

DETAIL INFORMATION

Manufacturer: Russell IPM

Pheromone bait for monitoring and trapping the Brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) - one of the serious pests of vineyards, fruit and melon crops, as well as beans, corn and ornamental plants. If this pest is not controlled, it can not only damage the crop, but even completely destroy it.

Halyomorpha halysis multivoltine, producing up to 5 generations per year. Damage thresholds for the insect are extremely low (7 per m row length / 5 per 15 sweep nets) as its feeding behaviour causes ‘cat-facing’ or seed failure, making crops unmarketable. To protect your crop and decide when treatments are needed, monitor this destructive pest using Black Impact Boards together with our Halyomorpha halys aggregation pheromone lures as part of an integrated pest management programme.

Advantages:

for 6 weeks, Halyomorpha halys is attracted by bait and caught by a trap, which gives a clear picture of the pest population;
pest detection at early stages of population development;
the possibility of mass capture;
easy to use with deltoid and other types of traps.

Precautionary measures:

Handle with care, avoid extensive hand contact and wear gloves when handling the product;
Do not eat or drink while handling the product.
