The Neotropical brown stink bug (Euschistus heros) is one of the main pests affecting soybean crops, accounting for up to 60% of insecticide applications in the field. Strategies to reduce the use of chemical insecticides hold great theoretical and practical interest, especially for sustainable agriculture. Mass trapping as a pest control strategy has been studied using different traps. Thus, this study aimed to determine the attraction and capture of E. heros using different attractants and traps to control the Neotropical brown stink bug. The study was conducted during two soybean seasons (2021/22 and 2022/23) in Sertanópolis and Londrina, PR, Brazil, respectively. The results indicate that both the PET-type and spherical-type traps can be used for mass trapping stink bugs with equal efficiency in soybean pest control. The most effective attractant was the bovine urine-based compound. However, the commercial attractant from Agribela® can also be used despite its lower attractiveness. Although Agribela® attractant can be more expensive, it is easier to acquire and use, especially when bovine urine is unavailable. The traps should be installed before the colonizing population reaches the fields, preferably at the beginning of the soybean reproductive stage. These traps thus become an additional management alternative for stink bugs and can be easily adopted, particularly by small-scale and organic soybean farmers.
