(Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is an invasive pest of numerous agricultural crops with an increasing global distribution. Finding simple and reliable monitoring tools for agricultural and surveillance programs is imperative. In 2016, we compared standard pyramid traps to clear sticky cards attached atop wooden stakes and evaluated two commercially formulated lures (Trécé and AgBio) with low and high rates of the aggregation pheromone (PHER) and pheromone synergist (MDT) at 12 sites (low: 5 mg PHER + 50 mg MDT; high: 20 mg PHER + 200 mg MDT). In 2017, we reevaluated lure efficacy using only the clear sticky traps at six locations. Sites were classified as having low, moderate, or high relative population densities of in 2016, and as very low or low densities of in 2017. Although clear sticky traps captured fewer adults and nymphs than pyramid traps, their captures were generally correlated at all population levels indicating that clear sticky traps can reliably monitor presence and relative abundance regardless of relative population density. During both years, adult and nymphal captures were significantly greater in traps baited with Trécé lures than with AgBio lures. Captures were greater in traps baited with high loading rate lures for each lure type, and with the exception of traps baited with AgBio lures at high relative density sites in 2016, captures in traps with low and high loading rates of each lure type were correlated for both years. Comparison of yellow and clear sticky cards indicated they performed equally, but yellow cards captured more nontargets. In summary, clear sticky traps attached atop wooden posts and baited with pheromone and pheromone synergist lures are an effective option for this pest monitoring and detection.
斯塔尔蝽(半翅目:蝽科)是一种对多种农作物具有侵袭性的害虫,其全球分布范围正在扩大。为农业和监测项目寻找简单可靠的监测工具势在必行。2016年,我们将标准金字塔形诱捕器与固定在木桩顶部的透明粘虫板进行了比较,并在12个地点评估了两种商业配制的诱饵(Trécé和AgBio),这两种诱饵分别含有低剂量和高剂量的聚集信息素(PHER)和信息素增效剂(MDT)(低剂量:5毫克PHER + 50毫克MDT;高剂量:20毫克PHER + 200毫克MDT)。2017年,我们仅在六个地点使用透明粘虫诱捕器重新评估了诱饵的效果。这些地点在2016年被分类为具有低、中或高相对种群密度,在2017年被分类为极低或低密度。尽管透明粘虫板捕获的成虫和若虫比金字塔形诱捕器少,但在所有种群水平上,它们的捕获量通常具有相关性,这表明透明粘虫板无论相对种群密度如何,都能可靠地监测斯塔尔蝽的存在和相对丰度。在这两年中,用Trécé诱饵诱捕的诱捕器中捕获的成虫和若虫明显多于用AgBio诱饵诱捕的诱捕器。对于每种诱饵类型,用高剂量诱饵诱捕的诱捕器捕获量更大,并且除了2016年在高相对密度地点用AgBio诱饵诱捕的诱捕器外,这两年中每种诱饵类型的低剂量和高剂量诱捕器中的捕获量都具有相关性。黄色和透明粘虫板的比较表明它们的表现相同,但黄色粘虫板捕获的非目标物更多。总之,固定在木桩顶部并用聚集信息素和信息素增效剂诱饵诱捕的透明粘虫板是监测和检测这种害虫的有效选择。
