Description

The objective of the survey was to evaluate the efficacy of 2 pheromones, in Cosmotrak traps, to control Cosmopolites sordidus Germar on banana orchards, in Terceira Island, Açores. The Cosmotrak traps with two pheromones were arranged in line, spaced by 20 meters. The pheromone cosmoplus has showed a greater efficacy than the pheromone sordidine, overcoming the pheromone sordidine by 41% from the captures of the pheromone sordidine
