Traps: a low cost IPM tool for pest monitoring and management in groundnut ecosystem
Keywords:
Groundnut, Integrated pest management, Pheromone traps, Yellow sticky trapsAbstract
Monitoring of insect pests in groundnut ecosystem using traps (pheromone and yellow sticky traps) was carried
out at Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur, Karnataka for a period of
seven years (2012-2018). The pooled data of the trap catches showed that highest numbers of Spodoptera litura were caught during the 45th standard meteorological week (79.80/trap), while the leafhopper, thrips and leaf miner catches recorded highest numbers during 43rd (7.2/trap), 40th (7.6/trap) and 38th (4.2/trap) standard meteorological week, respectively.
