Abstract

The Ommatissus lybicus (Dubas Bug), causes compensation every year, is one of the key pests of palm areas of the country. With respect to the common method of inhibiting chemical control of pests and prevent their damage the broad-spectrum insecticide, the broad-spectrum insecticide, and how the use of high risks to the environment and on human health problem. According to severe damage in addition to new and low-risk pesticides and other solutions evaluated. In this study, the effects of sticky yellow traps in reducing the population of Dubas Bug, was assessed in a randomized complete block design 5 treatments included four types of traps colored yellow (English yellow trap, Korean yellow trap, Iranian yellow trap & Canadian yellow trap) and colorless sticky traps (Transparent) as control with four replications. The field experiment was conducted from the spring 2013 to 2015 on palm dates in Fars province. The results showed that the Korean yellow sticky trap with an average of 316.78 ± 8.18 insects per trap had the best efficiency in attracting all the insects of the Dubas Bug. In the second year, the yellow sticky tape trap was used to catch insects. The results showed that the English yellow sticky tape at a height of three meters with an average of 81.26 ± 9.24 insects per trap and the Korean yellow tape trap at a height of three meters from the ground with an average of 72.33 ± 11.23 insects per trap. They have had the best effect in reducing the Dubas Bug. Finally, according to the results of the installing of the sticky yellow trap card and yellow-roll trap, were effective in reducing the Dubas Bug insects.
