Katyayani Yellow Stem Borer Lure (Scirpophaga Incertulas)

Dosage:
10–12 pheromone traps per acre for monitoring
20–25 pheromone traps per acre for mass trapping in severe infestation
Use 1 lure per trap
Replace the lure every 30–45 days or as recommended

Application Method:
Install the lure inside a compatible Yellow Stem Borer pheromone trap
Place traps 1–1.5 feet above the crop canopy and adjust as the crop grows
Distribute traps uniformly across the field for effective monitoring

Target Pest:
Yellow Stem Borer (Scirpophaga incertulas)
Attracts and traps male moths
Helps detect pest activity at an early stage
Reduces mating and lowers pest population when used for mass trapping

Timing:
Install traps 20–25 days after transplanting or at the first appearance of moths
Keep traps in the field throughout the crop season
Check traps regularly and replace lures when required

Frequency:
Inspect traps 2–3 times per week
Replace the pheromone lure every 30–45 days
Clean the trap whenever necessary for better performance

💡 Best Results Tip:
Use the lure along with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices. Monitor trap catches regularly and apply a recommended insecticide only when the pest population reaches the economic threshold level (ETL). This helps reduce unnecessary pesticide applications and improves pest management efficiency.

Paddy (Rice) – Major host crop
Maize (Corn) – Occasionally attacked
Sugarcane – Minor host in some regions
Wheat – Occasional infestation in certain areas
Wild Grasses – Alternate host that helps the pest survive between seasons
