Effects of pheromone trap design and trap placement methods were tested for catching males of the peach twig borer Anarsia lineatella (Zeller), in Iraq. Zoecon's pherocon lc trap captured more moths than corrugated plastic delta trap.
Significantly more moths were caught in traps hung at a height of 3.0 m above ground (surface) than at any other level of traps. Although more males were caught in the traps placed in south quadrant of the trees than other quadrants, the analyses showed that there was no significant difference between quadrants at P = 0.05. Response to traps at the interior of the orchard was significantly higher than that to the traps in perimeter orchard.
