Katyayani Yellow Stem Borer Lure

Target Pest: Yellow Stem Borer (Scirpophaga incertulas), a major rice crop pest whose larvae bore into rice stems, causing yield loss.

Pheromone Lure: Contains a pheromone that mimics the scent of female yellow stem borers to attract males.

Effective Monitoring and Control: Helps monitor and manage yellow stem borer populations by capturing males, enabling better pest control strategies.

Longevity: Effective for 90-120 days in the field.

Application: Used with traps placed in rice fields to capture and control yellow stem borer populations.

Benefits:

• Cost-Effective: Affordable and aids in making informed pest control decisions.

• Species-Specific: Attracts only the target pest, minimizing impact on other organisms.

• Non-Toxic: Environmentally friendly, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides.

• Pesticide Reduction: Facilitates targeted control, lowering the need for broad-spectrum pesticides.
