The invention provides a method for
trapping and killing
empoasca vitis by using mint volatile matter. The
empoasca vitis is used as test insects, six kinds of volatile matter of mint plants are used as smell sources, the six kinds of volatile matter comprise cis-3-hexenyl acetate, 3-
octanone,
caryophyllene, alpha-
phellandrene,
eucalyptol and gamma-
terpinene, n-
hexane is used as solvents to be prepared into
trapping and killing agents according to the proportional combination being 1:0.112:0.1-12:0.1-12:0.1-12:0.1-12, the
trapping and killing agents are carried with a rubber head to be made into a trapping core and attached to a
bud green round sticky trap, and trapping and killing are performed at peaks of the
empoasca vitis. According to the method, the
weed mint volatile matter which is common in a
tea garden is used for trapping and killing the empoasca vitis which is the most important injurious insects, the use amount of chemical
pesticide is reduced, and the problems that
drug resistance of the empoasca vitis occurs,
pesticide residues of tea leaves exceed the standard, and the number of subordinate injurious insects is increased to cause rampancy are solved. The trapping and killing agents of the empoasca vitis are high in trapping efficiency, safe, free of
pollution and compatible with the environment, the trapping speed is high, use is convenient, and cost is low.
