2010년대 이후로 사과원내 신초와 어린 과실에서 총채벌레류의 발생과 피해가 확인되었다. 사과원내 총채벌레류에 는 대만총채벌레(Frankliniella intonsa Trybom), 파총채벌레(Thrips tabaci Lindeman), 콩어리총채벌레(Mycterothrips glycines Okamato) 등이 확인되었고, 그 중 대만총채벌레가 90% 이상을 차지하는 우점종으로 조사되었다. 본 연구는 사과원에 우점하는 대만총채벌레를 예찰하는 데 가장 효과적인 끈끈이트랩의 색상을 선정하기 위해 진행되었다. 3개 지역(군위, 안동, 영주)에 위치한 10개의 사과원에 청색, 백색, 황색의 끈끈이트랩을 한 과원당 3반복으로 설치하였 다. 총채벌레류가 주로 발생하여 사과의 어린 과실과 신초를 가해하는 5월부터 6월까지 2주 간격으로 총채벌레류 유살수를 조사하였다. 총채벌레류의 발생량이 적은 5월에는 색상별 유인효과가 크게 차이나지 않았지만, 총채벌레류의 발생량이 많은 6월에는 청색 끈끈이트랩이 효과적으로 사과원 총채벌레류를 유인하는 것으로 확인되었다. 사과원 내 총채벌레류를 예찰하고 방제하는데 청색 끈끈이트랩이 효과적으로 이용될 것이라 생각된다.

Insect pests on cruciferous crops and their natural enemies were surveyed during 2009~2011 in Daegwallyeong highland region which has been famous for summer Kimchi cabbage production in Korea since 1970s. Totally 15 insect pests have been reported in cabbage field in Daegwallyeong. Diamondback moth (DBM, Plutella xylostella) imported cabbage worm (Artogeia rapae L.), cabbage armyworm (CAW, Mamestra brassicae L.), cabbage looper (CL, Trichoplusia ni), cabbage sawfly (Athalia rosae ruficornis Jakovlev), and turnip aphid (Liphapis pseudobrassicae (Davis)) were the dominant pest species among the 15 species. For monitoring as well as controlling insects with weak flight, yellow sticky cards (10×15㎝) were used in cabbage fields. The sticky cards were hanged on plastic stick and placed at a 2-5 m distance within cabbage field (1,000㎡). Sex pheromone traps were employed for monitoring and controlling insects with strong flight. The survey result showed that there was significantly reduced pest occurrences in treated, compared to untreated condition. Similarly, The results from the sex pheromone traps were coincident with those of sticky trap. DBM, CAW and CL were found less in the treated than untreated fields; by 67.5%, 70.6% and 44.0%, respectively. Although the control efficacy of such traps was less than that of chemical spray, the use of sticky card trap combined with sex pheromone trap could be useful management tools for controlling insect pests in cabbage fields.

Catch of garden thrips, Frankliniella intonsa, on sticky traps was assessed by color and height in commercial plastic vinyl house strawberry crops grown on 40-㎝-high trellises. Yellow, blue and white sticky cards were tested for color attractiveness, and upper (50 ㎝), lower (10 ㎝ above the floor) and ground were for height. At each height, trapped thrips on yellow, blue and white were significantly different. Blue sticky cards were significantly greater than traps on yellow and white. The trapped thrips were also significantly greatest at 50 ㎝ above the floor, less at lower and ground. However, there is no significantly different the population of garden thrips on the flower in each tested site.
