Abstract

Effects of pheromone trap design and trap placement methods were tested for catching males of the peach twig borer Anarsia lineatella (Zeller), in Iraq. Zoecon's pherocon lc trap captured more moths than corrugated plastic delta trap.

Significantly more moths were caught in traps hung at a height of 3.0 m above ground (surface) than at any other level of traps. Although more males were caught in the traps placed in south quadrant of the trees than other quadrants, the analyses showed that there was no significant difference between quadrants at P = 0.05. Response to traps at the interior of the orchard was significantly higher than that to the traps in perimeter orchard.

Résumé

Les effects de modéle et position de la trappe pheromone ont été examinés pour attraper le mâle de Anarsia lineatella (Zeller) en Irak. La trappe zoecons pherocon lc à capture plus de mites que la trappe corrugated plastic delta.

L'accrochage de la trappe en 3.0 m haut de la surface à montré une differente significative de capturation des mites par rapport aux autres niveaux de placement des trappes.

Néamoin plus mâles ont été captures quand les trappes placées en direction sud de l'arbre, pourtant elles n'y avait pas une different significative entres les quatre direction (au niveau 0.05).

Le résultat montre que les trappes placées a l'interieur de vérger a eu une reponse significative par rapport aux trappes placés à la perimetre de vérger.
