Trapping Efficacy of Two Types of New Sex Lures for Athetis lepigone （Moschler） in Fields

[Objective]The paper was to compare trapping efficacy of two types of new sex lures for Athetis lepigone（Moschler）in fields.[Method]The trapping performance of two lures for A.lepigone was tested in Hongdong County of Shanxi Province of China from June 21 to August 20 in 2012.[Result]The average number of moths trapped by lure B was 2.49 times of that trapped by lure A during June 21and August 17,and the difference was significant.The maximum number of A.lepigone moth trapped by lure B at one basin within a single day reached 280,while that trapped by lure A was only 85.The validity of two lures in fields reached 58 d,basically consistent with seasonal dynamics of A.lepigone moth trapped by lures.[Conclusion]Lure B is of higher quality and could be recommended to apply in dynamic monitoring and trapping control against A.lepigone adults.
