AbstractPheromone traps were more efficient than blacklight traps for detecting and monitoring adult populations of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), in southwestern Ontario. Several dispenser–chemical combinations were strongly attractive but best results were obtained with sticky traps baited with rubber septa impregnated with combinations of (Z)-9-dodecenyl acetate and (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate.

Army Worm

Comparisons of traps for capturing fall army worm, Spodoptera frugiperda, baited with virgin females or synthetic pheromone were conducted at Dade County and Quincy, FL, Brownsville, TX, and Tifton, GA. Significantly higher numbers of fall armyworm males were captured in traps, irrespective of design, that were baited with a four - component lure, Terochem, than in identical traps baited with virgin females or a standard bait containing a 10 : 1 ratio of (Z) - 9 - dodecenol - 1 - ol acetate and (Z) - 9 - tetradecen - 1 - ol acetate. Wire - cone Hartstack traps baited with Terochem captured significantly more males than a plastic funnel - type Unitrap in two of three locations at Tifton, GA, during 1984 - 85, and at Quincy, FL, 1984. At Brownsville, TX, and Dade County, FL, the Unitrap baited with Terochem lures captured ca. as many or more fall armyworm males, respectively, than the Hartstack design. Standard green, yellow, and white Unitraps captured 2× more fall armyworm males than solid green Unitraps, suggesting that the color may influence rates of capture.

AbstractExperiments in Malawi over several seasons indicated that use of sex pheromone baited traps would be an unsatisfactory method for the more efficient timing of insecticide applications against Diparopsis castanea Hmps. Excessive temporal and spatial variation between catches of male moths in pheromone traps and corresponding oviposition by females on cotton renders the method unreliable. Experiments indicated, however, that fewer sprays of insecticide against Diparopsis could be applied without significant loss of yield or quality by spraying when the numbers of eggs of Diparopsis reached 0·25/plant. It is suggested that modification of the existing method of egg scouting on plants offers the best prospect for efficient control of Diparopsis concomitant with the increasing demand by farmers for reduced spraying.
