Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate the efficiency of five kinds of sex attractant pheromones (Bombykol, Diprionol, Tuta cap, Tuta lure & Tuta 100 N.) in catching the males of Tomato leaf miners, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae). This study was carried out in open field at Perkash region (Giza governorate), Egypt during two seasons 2020 and 2021 on tomato plants, Lycopersicon esculentum (var. Lopena). Data obtained showed that the mean numbers of captured males of T. absoluta which attracted to the tested pheromones were arranged descending as follow: Tuta cap, Bombykol, Diprionol, Tuta lure & Tuta 100 N, respectively. Whereas in season 2020 the mean numbers of captured males of T. absoluta which attracted to the five tested pheromones (Tuta cap, Bombykol, Diprionol, Tuta lure &Tuta 100 N.) were 49.9, 23.8, 17.4, 13.7 and 11.6 respectively. While in season 2021 the mean numbers of captured males of T. absoluta which attracted to the five tested pheromones were: 45.8, 21.2, 14.9, 11.9 & 9.6 respectively. Also, data obtained showed that the mean number of male captured of T. absoluta (adult/trap) in season 2020 was higher than in season 2021. Statistical analyses showed that were highly significant differences between the five tested kinds of sex pheromones in catching T. absoluta males at both of the two tested seasons.
