Lybolty Kit – A Mass Monitoring system of Lygus bugs

Use Lybolty Kit as part of a mass monitoring or push-pull strategy for Lygus bugs.

Apply 400 Lybolty bags per hectare, equivalent to approximately 162 bags per acre.

Space Lybolty bags every 5–8 metres, or approximately 16–26 feet, and distribute them uniformly throughout the crop for optimal coverage.

Install 4 red sticky traps per hectare around the crop perimeter. Position one trap along each side of the field to attract and capture displaced Lygus adults.

Apply before flowering and replace the kit every 2 months throughout the cropping season for uninterrupted monitoring.

Lybolty Bags

Attach Lybolty bags securely within the crop canopy.

Do not place the bags directly on the soil, as contact with the ground can accelerate dispenser degradation.

Sticky Traps

Mount each red sticky trap on a vertical stake positioned at ground level.
