Sticky traps are widely used tools in insect monitoring and pest management strategies. These traps are useful tools for monitoring insect populations and eradicating pests because they use a sticky adhesive surface to capture and immobilize insects upon contact, especially flying insects. This study focuses on investigating insect preferences in a tomato plot regarding their attraction to either blue or yellow sticky traps. The research was conducted over three sampling periods from October to November 2022. A total of 12 sticky traps were deployed in the tomato plot for each sampling time, with six blue and six yellow sticky traps. Results of t test indicated a significant difference between the insects captured using Yellow Sticky Traps (YST) and Blue Sticky Traps (BST) with p value < 0.05 (t value = 2.94). The data indicated that YST was better at capturing a greater variety of insects, enhancing diversity coverage. On the other hand, BST demonstrated its significance in monitoring thrips and aphids, pests crucial to tomatoes, making it valuable for insect surveillance. In conclusion, YST demonstrated higher overall insect capture rates, BST remained valuable for specific insects like thrips and aphids. The findings from this study provide valuable insights for optimizing insect trapping methods in tomato cultivation and potentially in other agricultural settings.
