Monitoring procedures with different trap designs and their appropriate location within the tree canopy were standardized for Archips pomivora a predominant tortricid infesting apples in Himachal Pradesh. Two synthetic pheromonal lures OBLR and FTLR were used over 3 seasons (1982-84). Trap design had no significant influence on catches. Trap placement in the tree canopy was an important factor influencing the size of the catch.
