| Abstract | ||||
| The dearwing moth Synantheclon myopaeformis Borkh. (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) is considered a serious boring pest in Egyptian apple orchards. The effectiveness of different locally made trap designs (shape, size, height, color and distance between traps) were evaluated in badly infested apple orchard at Tokh district, Qalubia governorate throughout 3 moth's activity seasons (1997 to 1999). It was found that, the most effective and economic tape was made of 2 liters transparent carbonated water bottle hanged at 2.5 meters height and at the rate of 10 traps / feddan. | ||||
