Abstract: Sex pheromone baits were used over the past three years to monitor and control Holcocerus hippophaecolus Hua, Chou, Fang et Chen in 9 regions of 7 provinces in China. The results show that pheromone baits have application in both field monitoring and mass-trapping. The largest numbers of moths trapped were 26.6 males per trap and 45.9 males per day; the most effective distance between two traps was 120 m.
