Different colour sticky traps are commonly used for monitoring the population of many sucking pests such as thrips, whiteflies, leaf miner adults and aphids. They have also been used to monitor the natural enemies associated with the sucking pests. Presently, the monitoring the incidence of sucking pests in pomegranate using sticky traps is wanting. Hence, the study was conducted in pomegranate planting at orchard of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during 2016, using different colour laden sticky traps like yellow, pale yellow, green, orange and red. |
