Abstract | ||||
Pheromonal delta sticky traps were used as an attracticide tolerance monitoring technique in two different locations having two different control strategies for the pink bollworm (PBW); one depending on in-secticides, and the other on pheromone disruption. The field recommended dose as well as its double and half rates of the insecti-cides Dursban and Sumicidin were applied to the pheromone delta traps with pheromone sources for the pink . bollworm , spiny bollworm and cotton leafworm. The results showed that the moths of the spiny bollworm, pink bollworm and cotton leafworm were relatively tolerant to Dursban under insecticides regime compared with those under pheromone regime. Relative tolerances for Dursban were 3.8 , 2.2 and 1.06, respectively corre-sponding to 1.91 , 1.46 and 1.7 for Sumicidin. Pheromone traps as an attracticide tolerance monitoring tech-nique proved to be effective, simple and quick for assaying the moth field strains of Lepidoptera for insecticide resistance. | ||||
