Abstract
To control Monarthorpalpus buxi Geoff. species, the main pest of Buxus plants, in addition to chemical treatments an alternative method can be used for mass capture of adults with colored panels. In the area of Cluj-Napoca, in 2012-2013 was tested the effectiveness of this method. In this experiment was tested efficacy of white, blue, yellow and green panels. Of the 39603 adults captured during the two years, 36.4% were on green panels; 33.7% were on yellow panels; 24.1% were on white panels; 5.8% were on blue panels. Compared to the version where we did not apply any method of control, mass capture of Monarthropalpus buxi Geoff. adults with colored panels, attack frequency decreased at a rate of about 88% in 2012 (frequency of infested leaves was 8.61% compared to 70.78% in control variant) and 90% in 2013 (frequency of infested leaves was 7.67% compared to 77.36% in control variant).
