About Yellow stem borer lure

Scirpophaga incertulas (Rice Yellow Stem Borer) Pheromone Lure:

The Scirpophaga incertulas Pheromone Lure is a species-specific attractant designed for monitoring and managing Rice Yellow Stem Borer (Yellow Stem Borer) infestations in paddy fields. The lure mimics the natural sex pheromone released by female moths, effectively attracting male moths into pheromone traps and helping farmers detect pest populations at an early stage. This supports timely pest management decisions and reduces crop damage. (SK AGROTECH)
