PENGARUH JENIS PERANGKAP DAN FEROMON SEKS TERHADAP TANGKAPAN NGENGAT JANTAN Spodoptera exigua

Abstract

Effect of trap design and sex pheromone on the capture of male Spodoptera exigua. This research was to know the effectiveness of  two  traps and three kinds of pheromone in  attracting and catching  the male insects of Spodoptera exigua Hubner in shallot field. Two traps were wing trap and bottle trap, whereas pheromones were standard [Z9E12-14Ac + Z9-14OH (10:1)), Ugratas® and virgin females. Traps  that were loaded with a kind of pheromone, were placed randomly in shallot field, about 7 meters apart. The numbers of male insects that attracted  and caught were recorded in three days for 12 days.  The result showed  that more male insects were caught in bottle traps than wing traps, and more males attracted in  Ugratas than other pheromones.
