Sugar Beet Moth (Scrobipalpa ocellatella) Trap

Beet moth (Scrobipalpa ocellatella)

Vegetable, combinable

Attracts male moths with species specific pheromone. Allows accurate identification of pest species. Monitoring allows easy determination of risk to crop and if further control actions are required.

Pack contains 3 lures to give a total of 18 weeks monitoring. This single pack is effective for a period long enough to cover both generations.


Pack contains: 1 re-usable Delta trap, 3 pheromone lures, 3 sticky inserts.

Suitable for use in any crop where beet moth (Scrobipalpa ocellatella) is a potential pest.

The trap is designed to monitor adult moth activity which then allows improved application timing of plant protection products. The Beet Moth Trap should be setup from the beginning of April onwards to cover the beet moth flying period.

The trap should be placed within the crop and hung just above the top of the crop canopy.

2 to 4 traps should be used per hectare.

Traps should be checked at least once or twice a week and number of trapped moths recorded. After recording trapped numbers during scouting, trapped moths should be removed from sticky insert to improve future catches and reduce chance of miscounting in following assessments.

Replace the lure and sticky insert after 5-6 weeks.

Do not open foil sachet until you want to use the pheromone lure. Until use, store unopened sticky inserts and pheromone lures in a cool dry location.
