1999
The attractiveness of a synthetic pheromone to the black cutworm, A. ipsilon, was monitored by sticky traps from 1992 to 1995 in southern Hokkaido, Japan. A. ipsilon adults were captured from May to early July and from late July to early September. Moths were not captured in large numbers by light traps, with the total catch by pheromone trap being 1.8-8.6 times greater than light traps. Pheromone traps were more efficient for population monitoring than light traps.
