Abstract and kill formulations for Helicoverpa armigera males (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Date Issued:2002-08-13
Abstract
Attract and kill formulations are ideal tools for inclusion in IPM strategies to control insect pests, as they can be targeted at a single pest species without affecting beneficial insects, or creating secondary pest outbreaks. Field studies with attract and kill formulations using pheromone for H. armigera male moths indicate that contact rates with the basic formulation were very low, but manipulation of visual stimuli and lure presentation could greatly increase contact rates. There were no deterrent effects caused by inclusion of a pyrethroid insecticide in the pheromone formulation.
