Abstract

A cardboard trap, painted yellow and coated with STP® oil treatment, was more efficient in trapping Myzus persicae (Sulzer) than water traps using Stickem®. STP-coated traps were more selective than Stickem-coated traps for small insects and caught more aphids per unit area than did water traps. Aphids were identified in situ on STP traps more quickly than from water traps or traps coated with Stickem.

Résumé

Un piège de carton, peint en jaune et enduit d’huile STP®, s’est avéré plus efficace pour attraper Myzus persicae (Sulzer) que les pièges à eau enduits de Stickem®. Le premier s’est montré plus sélectif à l’égard des petits insectes et a capturé plus de pucerons par unité de surface que les seconds. L’identification in situ des pucerons s’est faite plus rapidement sur les pièges à STP que sur les pièges à eau ou ceux enduits de Stickem.
