Effectiveness of lightning pheromone application against mulberry Glyphodes pylaialis W.

Abstract

An analysis of the results of experiments to determine the effectiveness of the use of illuminated pheromone catchers in the fight against mulberry moth was presented. The experiments used pheromone handles impregnated with antioxidant pheromone material and placed on a lamp based on 2 light-emitting diodes operating in the ultraviolet radiation range of 365-370 nm. According to the analysis of the results, it was observed that mulberry moths caught on illuminated pheromone traps were 2.15 times more than non-illuminated catches, and the number of moths caught at night was about 1.75 times higher than the number of moths caught daytime.
