Q: What is the Pea Midge (Contarinia pisi), and where is it prevalent?
A: The Pea Midge primarily affects pea crops in Europe and parts of North America. It lays eggs inside developing pea flowers, and the larvae feed on them, leading to poor pod development.

Q: How much crop damage does it cause annually?
A: Pea Midge infestations can reduce yields by up to 80% if not controlled, making it one of the most destructive pests for pea growers.

Q: How does PheroSyn’s pheromone monitoring help?
A: PheroSyn’s pheromone traps specifically target male Pea Midges, helping farmers monitor population levels and take action at the right time. This reduces the need for chemical interventions and enhances crop protection through an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach.
