Integrating phototaxis research with pest control: laboratory‐based wavelength preference screening and field efficacy evaluation of sticky traps for <i>Monolepta hieroglyphica</i> management
This study demonstrates that yellow sticky traps corresponding to the 580 nm wavelength achieve optimal trapping efficacy when placed at the field edge and suspended 40 cm above the corn ear level. These findings advance physical control strategies and support integrated pest management for M. hieroglyphica. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
