Abstract

Thirteen standard cone traps of Heliothis spp. were used to monitor H. armigera Hubner at Kamphaeng Saen, Nakhon Pathom, All traps were baited with synthetic female sex pheromone. A high relationship was found between egg counts on various food plants and the number of H. armigera male catches with R2 value 0.744 and 0.791. The number of moths captured by using pheromone traps were not related to weather data.
