| Abstract | The bean bug, Riptortus pedestris, is one of the most economically salient pests of leguminous crops in Korea. It damages crops by sucking pods and fruits. We evaluated various types of rocket traps, along with wing colors and combinations of landing boards of various colors, in soybean field in South Korea. We developed a modified rocket trap intended to enhance the capture efficacy of stink bugs in the field. We evaluated (1) rocket traps with black, green, yellow, and white color stimuli and (2) traps with a wing and landing board. Our results showed that black wings with a black landing board attracted significantly more R. pedestris than other traps. Use of this improved trap combination would therefore enhance the monitor and capture of R. pedestris in various agroecological landscapes. The potency of these traps with a specific color, combination of features, and modifications to monitor R. pedestris are accurately discussed. Continued improvement to traps to address the demands of pest evolution and subtleties of cropping seasons are required. |
