Abstract

We examined the conditions for setting pheromone traps to collect Bombyx mandarina male moths efficiently. More moths were captured with a higher sex pheromone dose within the range of 0.1-10mg of bombykol. The 1-mg dose of bombykol was the most practical, considering trap exchange frequency and lure cost. Trap heights of 0.3-2.3m had no effect on the number of moths collected.
