The results of using an aspiration light trap for the mass capture of insects in the sunflower agrocenosis are presented. Its high efficiency in capturing phytophages (Lepidoptera; Noctuidae) has been shown.In the period of 3-5 days, the trap was caught up to 600-800 individuals. The effectiveness of using a separating insect receiver is revealed. The use of separation has reduced the capture of useful and indifferent entomofauna by 52 times. During the experiment, massive oviposition of various species of scoops was noted in the cavity of the insect receiver
Sunflower is one of the strategic crops in the Krasnodar Territory. The lack of timely monitoring, the widespread and repeated use of chemical insecticides has led to pests resistance to them. This situation creates a need for new methods of monitoring and protecting the crops from economically significant insects. The purpose of these studies was to identify the effectiveness of LED traps for monitoring and controlling Helicoverpa armigera. The paper presents a comparative analysis of captured insects using aspiration and conical traps. The dynamics of captured insects and the possibility of using these devices as a means of monitoring and reducing the number of cotton scoops are shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
