Abstract:The influence of height on the effectiveness of sex pheromone traps to attract male citrus leafminers,Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton,in an orchard of underage red heart pomello and mature Xinyu tangerine trees,was studied.The results revealed that trap height had an obvious effect on capture success which was also dependent on the horizontal distance of traps from the tree trunk.The results also revealed that the bottom edge of the canopy,two thirds of the way up the tree,was the best location for traps.
