Title Pheromone dose and set height of pheromone traps for efficient collection of wild mulberry silkmoths, Bombyx mandarina.
Journal J. Insect Biotechnol. Sericol.
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.
