Study on the lure effect of colors and sugar-acetic acid liquid on Agriolimax agrestis
This study aimed to clarify the lure effect of color and sugar-acetic acid liquid on Agriolimax agrestis and investigate the field monitoring and green control techniques for this pest.The tendency behavior of A.agrestis towards different colors and formulations of sugar-acetic acid liquid was studied.Four colors of red,blue,yellow,and green were tested,and the most attractive color to A.agrestis was identified through indoor chemotactic reaction experiments and field experiments.Furthermore,indoor and field experiments were conducted using varying ratios and concentrations of sugar-acetic acid liquid to attract A.agrestis.The blue and red color was found to be markedly more attractive to A.agrestis than the green and yellow.The best formula to attract A.agrestis with a sugar:vinegar:liquor:water ratio of 1:4:1:76.
