Detail description
How to use CatchIT tape to monitor and reduce European apple sawfly populations in organic orchards. The method involves hanging white adhesive strips between trees to trap adult sawflies, which are attracted to the white colour of blooming fruit. This non-chemical control technique is effective for managing Hoplocampa testudinea, a key pest in apple and pear cultivation across Europe.
