Remove the bait from the sachet, place it in the center of the trap and place the trap above the plants, at a height of about 1 meter. For monitoring, the density of baits should be at least 1-2 per hectare. 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.
