Data for: Semiochemically assisted trap cropping to reduce broad bean beetle (Bruchus rufimanus) infestation in faba bean

We conducted a field experiment in south central Sweden over two years, in 2021 and 2023, in a total of 24 faba bean fields to test if a trap crop in combination with semiochemical traps can reduce broad bean beetle infestation in faba bean. Fields were paired, such that each pair (n=12) contained one treated field with a perimeter strip of an early flowering faba bean cultivar used as a trap crop in combination with semiochemical traps, and one control field with just the faba bean main crop without a trap crop or semiochemical traps. In a subset of semiochemical traps in each field, trapped broad bean beetle adults were counted and sexed. Crop damage data was taken along three transects in both field pairs.

The dataset contains egg count (3600 data rows), proportion of bean damage (72 data rows), trap catches (3512 data rows) as well as yield and yield components (72 data rows)
