Sucking Pest Problem in Crops
Crops are often affected by sucking pests such as aphids, thrips and whiteflies. Farmers commonly use chemical pesticides to control them, which can harm the environment and crop health.
What are Sticky Traps?
Sticky traps are colored adhesive sheets placed around crop fields. These sheets attract pests which get stuck on them and cannot damage the crops.
How Sticky Traps Work
Many insects are attracted to specific colors. When sticky sheets of those colors are placed slightly above crop height, pests are attracted and get trapped on the adhesive surface.
