We decide to refuse chemical control because contamination and looking for alternative methods (eg. spraying only favourite for macrostaeles plants - cereals, stellaria media....)
Thanks a lot. Iam looking for Kaolin clay in Poland and try to aplicate....Especially Eupteryx on rosmarinus in now the greatest problem under cover....Best greetings
In organic pest control, the use of yellow sticky traps (commonly used for monitoring purposes), placed very close to the plants, is suggested as a method for controlling hoppers. Adults of cicadellid genera Macrosteles and Eupteryx are surely attracted by yellow traps. I don't know if this method can be effective in order to put down drastically their populations; a reduction can be possible. You can find more detailed information in internet. Best regards,
