Abstract:In the present open field trial study, using Barrix Hunter-RPW Trap and Lure (patent applied:202241012003) the pest RPW was successfully influenced with chemoreception by the use of pheromone lure containing a blend of 4-methyl-5-nonanol and 4-methyl-5-nonanone, in specific blend ratio of 7:1. The attraction efficiency of Barrix Hunter-RPW trap and lure was also affected by the colour of the trap, with specific maroon colour, matching to PANTONE 7421 C colour code influencing the chromoreception and colour cue… Show more
