The sticky trap contains a species specific pheromone lure to attract male European pepper moths.

Allows accurate identification of pest species. Monitoring allows easy determination of risk to crop and if further control is required.

This pack contains enough replacement sticky inserts and pheromone lures to be used with existing delta traps to monitor European pepper moth for one growing season.

Pack contains: 4 pheromone lures, 4 sticky inserts.

The trap is designed to monitor adult moth activity which then allows improved application timing of plant protection products. The European pepper moth trap should be setup from April to September to cover the moth flying period.

The trap should be placed centrally within the crop area at head height and out of direct sunlight.

Use 1 trap per hectare of uniform crops. In ununiform crops (geography, variety, age etc.) higher density may be advised.

Traps should be checked once or twice a week and number of caught adults recorded. After recording trapped numbers during scouting, trapped adults 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 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.
