Abstract:
The present investigations were framed to evaluate funnel diameter of sex pheromone trap for efficient moth catches of brinjal shoot and fruit borer. Among the three different diameters tested, sex pheromone trap with 13 cm and 11 cm catches the highest (47.95 and 46.81 moth catches/trap/week, respectively) number of moths. While funnel diameter of 9 cm was found less effective as it only catches 38.48 moth catches/trap/week. So, it is advisable to keep funnel diameter between 11 to 13 cm for trapping of brinjal shoot and fruit borer moth population.
