Cabbage moth (Mamestra brassicae) Trap

Vegetable

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.


Pack contains: 1 re-usable Funnel trap, 3 pheromone lures.

Suitable for use in any crop where Cabbage moth (Mamestra brassicae) is a potential pest.

The trap is designed to monitor adult moth activity which then allows improved application timing of plant protection products. The Cabbage moth monitoring trap should be setup from May until August to cover the moth flying period and the highest risk period from migration in spring (May-June). Once setup, the trap should be checked at least once or twice a week and the number of caught adults recorded.

The trap should be hung from a pole within the crop just above the height of the crop.

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 the base of the funnel to improve future catches and reduce chance of miscounting in following assessments.

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.

Traps can be used over several years with the addition of fresh replacement pheromones (sold separately.)
