Beobachtungen über Nebenfänge von Pheromonfallen im Obstbau

Sticky traps baited with the synthetic sex pheromones ofLaspeyresia pomonella L.,Adoxophyes reticulana Hb.,Grapholitha funebrana Tr., andHedya nubiferana Haworth were operated in extensively cultivated orchards in the vicinity of Giessen, W.-Germany, in 1984. In addition to large numbers of the target species, males of other tortricids were captured. These species, belonging toCnephasia, Pammene, Laspeyresia andEpiblema, were attracted by the pheromone baits. Other non-target insects like honey bees and hover flies were captured most probably due to the white colour of the traps.
