Proper use of Pheromone Traps:
The pheromone trap is designed to monitor
and reduce pest numbers.
In vineyards it is recommended to place
traps diagonally 1 trap per 3 ha. For mass capturing it is recommended to place
20-30 traps per ha (at a distance of 25-30 m from the edge of the plantation
and 30 m between traps). The trap is placed on the second support wire at the
level of bunches. Rows where the traps are located should be delimited to
simplify subsequent counting.
Prior to the first flight of the
butterflies, the traps must be checked on a daily basis, and after the first
butterflies have been captured, the traps must be checked every 5-7 days.
Pheromone dispensers and adhesive tapes can be replaced as needed.
Protective measures are based on the results
of the monitoring of population density of pest insects.
Trap placement:
For mass capture and sterilization of males,
it is recommended to have more than 20 traps per hectare. In case of a large
number of pest insects use 30 traps per 1 ha.
