Sudarsan S., . (1999) Net trap for Rhinoceros beetles using aggregation pheromone. [Proceedings Paper]

Abstract

Net traps baited with single sachets of aggregation pheromone gave encouraging results for catching rhinoceros beetles when used in two trapping campaigns in two plantings of mature oil palms in Sabah. Cost of these net traps is lower compared to published cost of vane traps. Further work is warranted to determine the relative efficiency of these traps compared to vane traps and to determine applicable situations.
