Softpest multitrap - Management of strawberry blossom weevil and European tarnished plant bug in organic strawberry and raspberry using semiochemical traps

2012

The project Softpest Multitrap has been aiming to develop knowledge about how to manage key pest insects in organic strawberry and raspberry.

We have been focusing on the use of semiochemical based non-pesticidal management techniques for strawberry blossom weevil (SBW), the European tarnished plant bug (ETB) and raspberry beetle (RB). The results show that it is possible to reduce insect damage in the crops by using these techniques although some obstacles still exists to get a satisfying effective management of these pest insects.
