Abstract

This article presents the results of the research on the effect of attractant dosages in pheromone preparations for the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), on its monitoring efficiency in an orchard agroecosystem. The research was carried out in 2020–2021 in a peach orchard nearby Érd town, Hungary. Russian-produced pheromone preparations were used within pyramidal traps. It was observed that with increasing pheromone dosage the average catch rate of H. halys definitely increased. The average increase in the frequency of catching insects in a row with the dosage of 12, 24, 36 and 48 mg was 30, 19, and 12% in relation to the previous used dosage.
