The bean bug is one of the most harmful pests of soybean in the hypertrophy stage. Both adult and nymph bean bugs sting the beans in the pods and suck their juice, so that the beans cannot mature, and the pods discolor and/or drop off their haulm. They have 2 to 3 generations a year and overwinter in the adult stage.

They have 2 to 3 generations a year and overwinter in the adult stage.

Southern green stink bug
Scientific name: Nezara viridula
Adults are 12-16 mm and green. They have variation in body color. The southern green stink bug is a serious pest of soybean and rice. They are highly polyphagous. 145 species within 32 plant families have been recorded as hosts. They can cause peck damage by feeding injury for rice. They have 3 to 4 generations a year and overwinter in the adult stage. They have a worldwide distribution, occurring throughout the tropical, subtropical and temperate regions of Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.
The traps can be reused by replacing the lures and glue boards.
There are two types designed to meet the ecology of the target insect. Diffusibility of the ingredients can be controlled by adjusting the plate angle.
To ensure consistent monitoring results, the glue board is highly water and light resistant, lasting for a month.
Size: 25cm long × 7.4cm wide
Water and Light proof
*The glue board is usable outdoors for one month, however, it should be replaced when there are many insects or dust on it, which will reduce the performance.
(A) Take out the required number of lures from their bags and packaging strips.
(B) For box type traps, put the lure on top of the mesh part of lure holder and close the lid. For penta traps, attach the lure directly to the glue board.
*Do not rip the transparent film covering the lures since it may lead to performance degradation.
**Color of individual lures may not be the same but has no effect in product quality.
*Use within the designated shelf life.
** Avoid sunlight and store at room temperature in a dark place. An exception is the lure for Japanese mealybugs, which should be sealed tightly and stored in a refrigerator (at around 5℃).
