Abstract

Monitoring studies conducted at Holangadde of Kumta taluk Uttara Kannada revealed maximum moth catch of groundnut leaf miner during 7^th SMW with 70 moths trap^-1 and significant positive correlation with minimum temperature was noticed. Mass trapping of moths with varied density of trap recorded maximum moth catch in 16 traps acre^-1 (2819) installed field which was on par with treatment consisting of 12 traps acre^-1 (2255). Treatment with 12 and 16 traps were superior with respect to yield (33.12 and 34.53 q ha^-1) and lower defoliation (8.56 and 14.07%). Hence 12 traps acre^-1 will be ideal with optimum trap density, higher moth catch and high yield.
