Bean bug

Scientific name: Riptortus pedestris

Bean bug

Adults are 14 to 17 mm and have a variety of body colors from dark brown to red brown, and their back is covered with fine brown hairs. Nymphs have black bodies and are similar to ants. The bean bug is one of the most harmful pests of soybean in the hypertrophy stage. Both adult and nymph bean bugs sting the beans in the pods and suck their juice, so that the beans cannot mature, and the pods discolor and/or drop off their haulm. They have 2 to 3 generations a year and overwinter in the adult stage.

Rice bug

Scientific name: Leptocorisa chinensis

Rice bug

Adults are 15 to 17 mm, with a yellow-green body and black vertical bands on both sides of the head and thorax. The rice bug is a harmful pest infesting the milky stage of rice. Both adult and nymph rice bugs sting rice in the husk and suck the juice, so that the rice cannot mature or matures with deformed grains. They have 2 to 3 generations a year and overwinter in the adult stage.

Unibanded stink bug

Scientific name: Piezodorus hybneri

Unibanded stink bug

Adults are 9 to 11 mm and have a light yellow-green body with a red or white horizontal stripe in the pronotum. Nymphs are 1.3 to 8 mm and have a black or light-brown body in early age and a red or light yellow-green body in old age. They are a serious pest of soybean and the other legume plants. Both adult and nymph sting the seeds in the pods and suck their juice, causing quality reduction and/or yield loss. They have several generations a year and overwinter in the nymphal stage.

Japanese mealybug

Scientific name: Planococcus kraunhiae

Japanese mealybug

Females are oval and 2.5-4 mm. Their back is covered with white mealy wax. Males are about 2 mm and are carried by the wind in flight. The Japanese mealybug is a serious pest of fruit trees (e.g., persimmon and grapevine) and garden trees (e.g., wisteria and Japanese cheesewood). Much honeydew that they secrete can cause sooty mold. They have 3 generations a year and overwinters in the second larva stage.

Comstock mealybug

Scientific name: Pseudococcus comstocki

Comstock mealybug

Females are oval and 3-4.5 mm. Their back is covered with white mealy wax. Males are about 1.5 mm and have wings like a winged aphid. The comstock mealybug is a serious pest of fruit trees (e. g., grape, pear, apple, persimmon and peach). Much honeydew that they secrete can cause sooty mold. They have 2-3 generations a year and overwinters in the egg stage.

Southern green stink bug

Scientific name: Nezara viridula

Southern green stink bug

Adults are 12-16 mm and green. They have variation in body color. The southern green stink bug is a serious pest of soybean and rice. They are highly polyphagous. 145 species within 32 plant families have been recorded as hosts. They can cause peck damage by feeding injury for rice. They have 3 to 4 generations a year and overwinter in the adult stage. They have a worldwide distribution, occurring throughout the tropical, subtropical and temperate regions of Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.

Features of FIELDCATCH

01.FIELDCATCH is a reusable trap for predicting the emergence of pests

The traps can be reused by replacing the lures and glue boards.

02.Precisely matched to the behavior patterns of the target insects

There are two types designed to meet the ecology of the target insect. Diffusibility of the ingredients can be controlled by adjusting the plate angle.

03.Tough glue board to endure outdoor environments

To ensure consistent monitoring results, the glue board is highly water and light resistant, lasting for a month.

HOW TO

Setup

Attaching the adhesive paper2
Attaching the adhesive paper3
Size: 25cm long × 7.4cm wide
Water and Light proof
*The glue board is usable outdoors for one month, however, it should be replaced when there are many insects or dust on it, which will reduce the performance.

Lures Attaching lures

Product targeting other insects

(A) Take out the required number of lures from their bags and packaging strips.

(B) For box type traps, put the lure on top of the mesh part of lure holder and close the lid. For penta traps, attach the lure directly to the glue board.

*Do not rip the transparent film covering the lures since it may lead to performance degradation.
**Color of individual lures may not be the same but has no effect in product quality.

Example

*Use within the designated shelf life.
** Avoid sunlight and store at room temperature in a dark place. An exception is the lure for Japanese mealybugs, which should be sealed tightly and stored in a refrigerator (at around 5℃).
