How to Reduce Pest Pressure: Sticky Board Instructions
The principle of the sticky insect board is to use the photosensitivity of adult pests to color to achieve the effect of adult pests.Many farmers encounter large numbers of mealybugs in their sheds, which are difficult to control.Generally speaking, it is not recommended to spray the drug directly.Frequent use of chemical sprays will increase the resistance of pests.Therefore, it is recommended to use sticky insect panels first, which can not only greatly reduce the use of pesticides, but also avoid improving the resistance of pests.The following is the use of sticky insect boards.
The principle of sticky insect board is to use the phototaxis sensitivity of adult pests to color to achieve the effect of adult pests.Generally, it can be divided into yellow, blue, black, red, purple, gray, green and other sticky insect boards.A common greenhouse planting is yellow sticky board.
In the concept of many farmers, the sticky worm board is a yellow board, and the yellow board is an sticky worm board. In fact, the sticky worm board has many colors, but the yellow board is more common, so in the farmer's concept, the sticky worm board is a yellow board, and this concept is wrong.Yellow armyworm boards are very effective against planthoppers, but not as effective against thrips.Blue armyworm boards can be very effective against thrips.Therefore, blue armyworm boards are necessary to prevent and control thrips.Each color of sticky insect panels has its own special band, and the band is what really attracts pests.Therefore, when purchasing sticky insect panels, we must understand the pests we need to control and their corresponding bands, and purchase them as needed to achieve the ideal effect.
Sticky insect panels are usually hung before pests occur.Whether it's a yellow board or a blue board: the height at which you hang it when catching is very important.When the plants are in seedlings, the hanging height should be 10-15 cm higher than the seedlings.When the plant height approaches the insect attractant board, it should increase by 10-15 cm as the plant grows.If the height of tall crops is 0.8-1 meter, insect attracting boards should be hung between the rows at the same height as the crops.This facilitates access to the plants and attracts pests more effectively.There is also a way to catch insects instantly.When the plants are tall and bushy and there are many pests, you can use several insect attractant boards strung together.People stand between the plant lines, holding an insect attractant board in one hand and vibrating the plants with a small stick in the other hand, vibrating and walking at the same time.You can see small pests like mealybugs flocking in one direction toward the insect attractant board.Insect attractant boards are covered in countless pests within minutes.You can replace the insect attractant board again and reuse it.Clean with small insects 1-2 times, no need to use glue.Keep using it.And you can reuse old sticky insect panels, add glue, and paint them multiple times.
Hanging time: When used for prevention and control, it can be selected at the early stage of pest occurrence; for monitoring, hang it from spring, and hang 1 to 2 pieces per acre.
How to use it in the field: Use thin bamboo (wood) sticks to support and fix it. Distribute it in a chessboard pattern in the field. Insert 20 yellow boards evenly per acre. The height is slightly higher than the plants. If it is too high or too low, the effect will be poor.When the area of armyworms on the paper or board accounts for more than 60% of the surface area of the board, it should be replaced. When the area of armyworms on the board is not sticky, it should be replaced.To ensure the adhesion of the homemade yellow sheet, it needs to be reapplied in about a week.The suspension direction should be east-west on the surface of the board.
Sticky insect panels can reduce pests.However, in order to more effectively control the damage of pests, it should also be used in conjunction with other comprehensive control measures.
