Trapview

Since 2023, two Trapview traps have been deployed on the Domaine du Chapitre to monitor pests population of Eudemis and Cryptoblabes. The tool provides decision-making support in anticipating and adjusting insecticide treatment plans based on detected flights. For the Domaine du Chapitre, its use has been repurposed to assess the effectiveness of the mating disruption system implemented against Eudemis. It was also intended to check the effectiveness of the trap with the installation of a second device in a plot that was not yet in production in 2023.
The second trap has been relocated during the season and recalibrated to monitor Cryptoblabes populations.

How it works:

The pest is attracted by a pheromone or food bait onto a sticky strip. A camera captures a daily image, which is analyzed and made available on the application. An alert is sent for each detection. The system is autonomous as it is powered by a solar panel. The image is sent via the 3G/4G network.

What we liked:

• Easy trap installation with minimal space required on the trellis
• Simple relocation and recalibration (quick app update – 2 days)
• Detection alerts (with push notifications when a threshold is exceeded)

• Assistance in data interpretation. Trapview provides technical expertise, but decision-making relies on the experience of the vineyard manager and/or local technician.
• The Cryptoblabes detection algorithm lacks reliability as it is still in training.
• Enabling information sharing within a local network.
• The food bait needs to be changed every two weeks, negating the benefit of remote monitoring.
