ABSTRACT The brinjal shoot and fruit borer , Leucinodes orbonalis is a destructive pest of brinjal and its control is difficult as the larvae inhabited inside the shoots or fruits of brinjal . Two different studies were conducted in farmer ' s field at Coimbatore , Tamil Nadu , India during Rabi 2013 / 14 (September , 2013 – January , 2014) and 2014 / 15 (September , 2014 – January , 2015) to evaluate the efficacy of 1) types of traps viz . , sleeve and Wota - T traps , and erection heights viz . , 30 , 60 , 90 cm above the crop canopy and at crop canopy level , and 2) concentration of lure viz . , one , two and three mg (Lucin - lure®) , and frequency of replacement of lure viz . , 21 , 45 and 60 days . The results showed that the Wota - T traps baited with 3 mg lure concentration , replaced at every 21 days caught more number of male moths of L . orbonalis . Trap catch was significantly higher in pheromone traps placed in the same level of canopy .
