Management of Brinjal Shoot and Fruit Borer, Leucinodes Orbonalis Guenee Using Pheromone Trap (Tnau Master Trap) and Comparison between Commercial Water Trap and Tnau Master Trap

Studies were taken up to understand the chemical ecology of Leucinodes orbonalis using sex pheromone trap for the management of L. orbonalis. Comparison made on moth retention pattern of commercial water trap and TNAU Master Trap and the result showed that mean number of moth catches in commercial water trap varies from 1.1 to 1.6 and was higher in TNAU Master trap (5.6 to 5.9 moths per trap). Average number of moth catches per trap per day in commercial water trap (1.3 ± 0.4) is much lesser than TNAU Master Trap which had a high level of moth recruitment (5.7 ± 0.4). TNAU Master Trap found better efficient results than the commercial water trap. The results of the experiment conducted using "Neoprene lure + TNAU Master trap" by pheromone trapping system at Deivaseyalpuram village indicated a higher moth catches ranged from 9.4 to 17.6 moths trap day.
