Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Gossyplure admixed with antioxidant attracted and captured male pink bollworm moths early in the cotton season in Israel, compared with hexalure plus antioxidant.
- Intervention effect Hexalure plus antioxidant was completely inactive in attracting male pink bollworm moths, compared with gossyplure under identical conditions.
- Observation The mixtures of gossyplure with antioxidant remained attractive for at least two months.
- Intervention effect The antioxidant increased pink bollworm moth catches 2.5 fold in gossyplure traps.
- Method / resource Gossyplure-baited monitoring with capture thresholds of 5 moths/trap/night to the end of July and 8 afterward was completely satisfactory for maintaining a low 2.8% average boll infestation in the Beth-Shann region.
- Observation Only 5.8 insecticidal treatments were required in the entire growing season in the monitored cotton fields.
- Association Gossyplure monitoring results in other areas of the country were even better than in the Beth-Shann region.
