Abstract

Pheromone traps were more efficient than blacklight traps for detecting and monitoring adult populations of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), in southwestern Ontario. Several dispenser–chemical combinations were strongly attractive but best results were obtained with sticky traps baited with rubber septa impregnated with combinations of (Z)-9-dodecenyl acetate and (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate.

Résumé

Les pièges sexuels (phéromones) s'avèrent plus efficaces que ceux à la lumière noire pour la détection et l'étude des populations adultes de la légionnaire d'automne Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) dans le sud-ouest de l'Ontario. Plusieurs combinaisons de distributeurs de produits chimiques s'avèrent très attractives, mais ce sont les pièges collants appâtés de cloisons de caoutchouc imprégnées de mélanges d'acétate de (Z) - dodécène - 9 yle et d'acétate de (Z) - tétradécène - 9 yle qui donnent les meilleurs résultats.
