Abstract/Contents: | Addresses the assumption that Japanese beetle traps reduce damage caused by adult beetles and grubs. Defines pheromones and describes information transmitted by them. Details uses of pheromones in monitoring and locating pests. Warns against using traps to estimate population magnitudes. Describes how traps can help improve timing of insecticide applications. Details uses of pheromones in direct control of insect pests (mass trapping and mating disruption). Traces the process of pheromone research (discovery, experimental confirmation, isolation, identification, synthesis, testing, optimization, and commercialization). |
