“…Malo et al (2001Malo et al ( , 2004 tested commercial lures and found that the Chemtica and Trecé lures, used with delta traps, were best for monitoring S. frugiperda males in Mexico, with the Chemtica lure providing the greatest captures of moths, followed by Trecé and Pherotech lures. However, Malo et al (2001) pointed out that the number of males caught was very low (a mean of 1.37 moths per trap per observation date, or 0.37 male/trap/night) in comparison, for example, to 150 moths/trap/night reported by Gutiérrez-Martínez et al (1989) in the central area of Chiapas State, Mexico, or elsewhere, where FAW sex pheromone lures have been evaluated (Mitchell et al 1985;Adams et al 1989;González and Caballero 1990). The reason for the low capture of moths reported by Malo et al (2001) was the low FAW population during the study, once the traps caught a majority of the FAW males (Mitchell et al 1985;Gutiérrez-Martínez et al 1989).…”

“…The female-produced sex pheromone of S. frugiperda is commercially available in several countries, including Brazil. Pheromones have been a useful tool for monitoring male populations (Mitchell et al 1985(Mitchell et al , 1989Adams et al 1989;Pair et al 1989;Lopez et al 1990;Gross and Carpenter 1991;Weber and Ferro 1991;Malo et al 2004;Batista-Pereira et al 2006). Monitoring with pheromone traps is useful because pest pressure varies from farm to farm and over time.…”

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a major pest of maize and frequently demands control measures. The timing of insecticide application is a key factor in determining its efficiency, so an experiment was designed to investigate this. Application of insecticide was based on three criteria: (i) the number of trap-caught moths in a Delta-type trap with a commercial sex pheromone lure placed in the center of the target area, soon after plant emergence; (ii) the percentage of plants exhibiting pinhole-type damage (10% or 20%), and (iii) the percentage of plants exhibiting shot hole-type damage (10% or 20%) compared to a check plot without any control measures. We found that the number of trap-caught moths was, compared to the other methods, the2 best means of deciding on insecticide application in maize to control the fall armyworm. Using pheromone traps, we obtained the best performance of the insecticide Spinosad, causing >90% larval mortality. Without insecticide application, maize yield reduction due to fall armyworm larva damage was 39%.

“…Estudios realizados por estos autores en 1998 y 1999 encontraron que el 67,7 y 86,6% (respectivamente) del total de insectos capturados correspondieron a especies no objetivo. Igualmente, otros estudios han documentado que las trampas cebadas con feromonas sexuales atraen insectos no objetivos incluyendo benéficos (Adams et al, 1989;Mitchell et al, 1989;Gauthier et al, 1991;Gross y Carpenter, 1991;Meagher y Mitchell, 1999 (Cisneros, 1995;Malo et al, 2001). Existen registros sobre algunos insectos que son atraídos hacia ciertos colores, por ejemplo Bombus sp.…”

Se evaluó la eficiencia y la vida media en campo de dos feromonas de atracción sexual para machos adultos de S. frugiperda en el departamento del Tolima, Colombia durante el primer semestre del año 2008. Las feromonas correspondieron a las marcas comerciales ChemTica de origen costarricense y Pherobank de origen Holandés. Se utilizó un diseño de bloques al azar con tres tratamientos (dos marcas de feromonas y un testigo) y 4 repeticiones (bloques), para un total de 12 unidades de muestreo. Las trampas se instalaron en un cultivo de algodón al inicio de la etapa reproductiva y fueron evaluadas tres veces por semana. Se utilizó un análisis de varianza para detectar diferencias entre tratamientos y la prueba de comparación de medias de Tukey para caracterizarlos. Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre tratamientos (P≤0,05), siendo la marca ChemTica que presentó el mejor comportamiento, con un promedio de captura de 25,79 adultos por trampa por día, en comparación con 1,58 de Pherobank y 0,417 del control. Los resultados fueron consistentes en todos los bloques y persistentes en el tiempo. La vida media de la feromona ChemTica fue de 50 días en campo a 30°C, con 23,3 mm de pluviosidad y una velocidad de los vientos predominantes del sur y sur oeste a 2,5 m s-1. Evaluation of two trademarks of the sex pheromone Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidade) in Tolima (Colombia)We evaluated the efficiency and the field half-life of two pheromones for the sexual attraction of adult males of the species S. frugiperda in the department of Tolima, Colombia during the first half of 2008. The pheromone trademarks used were ChemTica from Costa Rica and Pherobank from The Netherlands. We used a randomized block design with three treatments (two brands of pheromones and a control) and 4 replications (blocks) for a total of 12 sampling units. The traps were installed in a cotton crop at the beginning of the reproductive stage and were evaluated three times a week. We used analysis of variance to detect differences between treatments and the Tukey mean comparison test to characterize them. Significant differences between the treatments were observed (P≤0.05), the brand ChemTica presented with the best results, with an average catch of 25.79 adults per trap per day, compared to 1.58 with Pherobank and 0.417 in the control. The results were consistent across all blocks and persistent over time. The half-life of the pheromone ChemTica was 50 days in the field at 30°C with 23.3 mm of rainfall and prevailing winds predominately from the south and southwest at 2.5 m s-1.

“…The influence of trap design has been evaluated for many herbivorous pest species, including codling moth and oblique-banded leafroller [119], velvetbean caterpillar [120], fall armyworm [120][121][122], corn earworm [123][124][125], European corn borer [126], black army cutworm [127], maize stalk borer [128], Heliothis virescens [129,130], Mexican rice borer [737], Ephestia kuehniella [132]; hickory shuckworm [733], apple leafroller [134], Lepidopteran fruit pests [735], the noctuid Mythimna convecta [136], sweet potato weevil [137], bark beetles and other forest Coleoptera [138,139], stored products insects [140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147][148], Mediterranean fruit fly [149] . A grain probe trap for stored products insects has been designed as a long cylinder that can easily be inserted into the grain, with small holes just large enough to allow insects (but not grain) to enter the cylinder [158].…”

Chemical communication is important in the life cycles of many insect species, principally for the location of mates and food. Structural identification and synthesis has been carried out for many semiochemicals, and a number of techniques have been developed to use these compounds as components of integrated pest management (IPM) programs. Semiochemicals have two main uses in IPM programs: monitoring insect pest populations and preventing agricultural damage by interfering with insect behavior. Pheromones are perhaps the most widely exploited semiochemicals at present, but recent efforts have extended increasingly to the identification and use of compounds involved in interspecific exchange of information as well.The use of semiochemicals to manipulate insect behavior has proved to be one of the most useful components of integrated pest management (IPM) programs. Semiochemicals are compounds that are emitted or displayed by one organism and that affect the behavior of another organism [/]. Perhaps the most important semiochemicals used by insects are those involved in locating mates and food, and at present these are the kinds of semiochemicals most widely exploited for insect control. Semiochemicals with many other kinds of ecological roles have also been characterized in insects, such as compounds that function as warnings, or compounds that mediate the collective activity of many partners in completing large tasks. A number of major reviews of the use of semiochemicals in IPM programs have appeared [7][8][9], as well as a critical review of semiochemical utility in general [10], An extensive list of companies that offer semiochemical lures, traps designed for semiochemical monitoring, and commercial systems for behavioral pest control has been compiled by Inscoe [11].Practical applications of semiochemicals in agriculture fall into two main categories, population monitoring and behavioral pest control. The main use at present is in monitoring insect pests with traps baited with semiochemicals, as a part of making decisions about pesticide application or other control techniques. A second use of semiochemicals is the direct prevention of insect damage by a variety of techniques, including the placement of a large number of semiochemical sources that disrupt the behavior of the insects, mass trapping, attracticides (insecticide lures), and enhancement of parasitoid activity.
