How to control cicadas with traps?
Cicadas (Auchenorrhyncha) are the lesser-known insects that aspirate plant sap from plant cells, creating rows of spots or rough, white specks on the leaves, flowers and fruits in crops. In cases of severe infestation, large parts of the leaves can discolor and even die. Some cicadas also carry viruses and bacteria or secrete toxic substances themselves, causing even more crop damage such as deformities
Identifying and detecting Cicadas
Cicadas (Auchenorrhyncha) are found underneath the leaf and can be recognized by their green color. They are about 3 millimeters in size and have narrow wings. They lay an average of 50 eggs in their lifetime. They lay these in the tissue of the leaf veins and stems and so, their eggs are invisible to the naked eye. This makes detection of this pest more difficult. Cicadas are also recognized by the presence of spit-like foam nests in which the larval stages of a number of species develop.
The larvae of cicadas secrete this foam to protect themselves from dehydrating. In principle, this foam is not harmful to crops, but it does cause their ornamental value to decline.

Types of Cicadas
There are many different types of cicadas (Auchenorrhyncha). The most common species found in horticulture are:
• Edwardsiana rosae (rose cicada): this species is found mostly in roses and related species.
• Empoasca vitis: this species is mostly found in peppers, but at times also in ornamentals.
• Phiaenus spumarius: this species is found in many crops, such as chrysanthemums, alstroemeria and amaryllis.

• Empoasca vitis: this species is mostly found in peppers, but at times also in ornamentals.
• Phiaenus spumarius: this species is found in many crops, such as chrysanthemums, alstroemeria and amaryllis.
Spread of cicadas
Cicadas are not very good at flying and have a clumsy flight from which they can also be recognized. Cicadas have a highly developed pair of hind legs and the cicada jumps from one leaf to another. This allows them to move quickly and to easily spread through crops. In addition, their population also develops very quickly in hot and dry weather: at a temperature of 24 °C, it only takes 11 days for their eggs to hatch.
How to control cicadas with traps?
Hanging red sticky traps appears to be a good strategy to keep low numbers down. In practical terms, the color red seems to be very attractive to cicadas, while the capture of beneficial insects by this red color seems to be tolerable. The advice is to hang about 20 sticky traps per hectare for monitoring. In places with high levels of infestation, an option is to hang red traps to inhibit further development of this pest. Suspend these traps about 20 cm above the crop to get the best results.
A number of plant protection products are available to combat cicadas, including Sivanto Prime, Requiem Prime, Flipper, Mainspring and Closer.
