Abstract

Pheromone traps are widely used in numerous pest insects for monitoring purposes. Helicoverpa armigera is an important
pest of tobacco. For detecting initial population and monitoring of flight dynamics of H. armigera on tobacco (2019/2020)
were used sticky, sex pheromone traps- RAG.
During tobacco vegetation starting date for males trapping is beginning of July. Usual flight pattern on tobacco is during
July, August and September. Determining of the greater number of moths indicate when inspections of pest’s immature
stages on tobacco plant need to be more frequent and consequently when to start with pest control measures. A total of
108 adults were caught in 2019 and 79 in 2020. Four peaks of population per year are determined.
Pheromone traps can be of great help in predicting potentially severe infestations of a given pest at a designated location
in the same year, and timely implementation of plant protection measures on tobacco.
Key words: H. armigera, tobacco, pheromone traps
