The pattern of pheromone trap catches of Helicoverpa armigera was similar within any given agroclimatic zone but there were also obvious changes with latitude in patterns of trap catches. The catches were generally higher and had more sharply defined peaks, at northern locations than at southern locations. The catches at the eastern locations were lower than those elsewhere. The practical applications of this information for pest control are discussed KW - Pheromone trap; Helicoverpa armigera; agro-climatic zone Y1 - 1990/// SP - 869 ID - icrisat7657 EP - 876 VL - 11 IS - 6 ER -
