In North America, the most important species is H. zea but in the Eastern Hemisphere H. armigera is the most important species and is a threat to invade the U.S. USDA-APHIS-PPQ has an active trapping program using pheromone-baited traps. However, traps vary in their size, cost, and trapping efficacy. This study was designed to determine the most efficacious trap available for Helicoverpa moths. |
