How to Hang Sticky Boards Correctly
As summer approaches and temperatures continue to rise, pests in sheds become more and more serious.Hanging sticky insect panels is a good way to control environmentally friendly and economical pests and is worth promoting.However, many farmers hang the sticky panels incorrectly, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the sticky traps. First of all, the number of sticky insect panels should be determined based on the number of main pests.Sticky worm boards with fewer settings will not achieve the desired desired effect, but too many settings are unnecessary.For example, in the greenhouse, 30 to 40 insect pest boards should be set up per acre to treat whiteflies, tabaci, and thrips.
Second, the position of hanging the sticky insect board must be appropriate, otherwise the sticky insect effect will not be good.Take the main pest control pest Bemisia tabaci as an example.Since the migration ability of whitefly is relatively poor, the hanging height of the armyworm board should be slightly flat or 10 cm higher than the lower end and the growth point of the top of the plant. The hanging height of the armyworm board should be adjusted in time as the plant continues to grow.
Divide the four sticky insect boards into two groups. One group of sticky insect boards is set 10 centimeters above the growth point of the top of the plant, specifically targeting whitefly pests with poor migratory ability; the other set of sticky insect boards is set 30 to 40 centimeters above the top growing point of the plant, for pests such as aphids with strong migratory ability.According to this operation, the sticky insect board can be fully utilized.
The above is all I want to share with you. Of course, in addition, the color taxis of different pests is also different.In addition to setting up yellow armyworm boards to trap aphids, mealybugs and other pests with a strong tendency towards yellow, if necessary, blue armyworm boards should also be set up to trap pests with a strong tendency toward blue, such as thrips.Since thrips are sensitive to light, they need to be hung or bamboo poles inserted into the surface near the base of the crop.
