Abstract: An essential first step to implement a control strategy against herbivorous insects is the monitoring of their populations. The efficacy of pheromone-based traps in capturing herbivorous insects can be enhanced by adding adjuvants and using slow-release dispensers to ensure long-lasting attractiveness. Here, we present datasets from a two-year field monitoring campaign of the invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), using clear sticky traps baited with its aggregation pheromone and a synergist, tested towards different dispensers and adjuvants. Bycatch data for native stink bugs (all Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and leaf-footed bugs (Hemiptera: Coreidae) are also presented. The R code provided was used to organize data and generate weekly captures or weekly density of both H. halys and non-target species. The information provided in this article may contribute to the optimization of pest control strategies in agriculture.
