The transition to organic farming requires new methods of pest control and management without the use of pesticides. Accumulated data on vibrational communication of insects show that the use of natural and modified pest signals can hinder their successful communication on the plant, thereby reducing their numbers. In this paper, we discuss the effectiveness of the use of stimuli on the example of the widespread and damaging a large range of plants of the species Pentatoma rufipes L.

Key words: behavior, communication, pest control
