Description
Delta pheromone traps for leek moth (Acrolepiopsis assectella) are designed to monitor population dynamics throughout the season.
Leek moth typically has 2 to 3 flight periods per season in Quebec. Installing traps allows growers to confirm moth arrival in their area and time interventions accurately.
These traps are especially recommended to optimize the timing of Tricho-Gard® – Alliums releases, since their performance depends on close synchronization with egg-laying periods.
Recommended Material
Required quantities vary depending on crop type and number of fields.
