Abstract
An area program using 3 black light traps per square mile over 113 square miles was established in 1964 and maintained through 1966 in Shelby County, Kentucky, to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing populations of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta(Johannson), and the tomato hornworm, M. quinquemaculata (Haworth), attacking burley tobacco. Fewer hornworm moths were caught in evaluation traps inside than outside this area in 1965 and 1966, but the difference was not so great for the female as for the male moths. The number of moths caught per evaluation trap was substantially greater in 1966 than in 1965, and there was no relative reduction of moths caught inside compared with those caught outside the area from 1965 to 1966. In 1965 and 1966 more eggs and larvae were found per plant outside than inside the 113-square-mile area. The number of eggs and larvae per plant did not increase with distance from the center of the area in 1965 but did in 1966. Economic control of tobacco and tomato hornworms was not achieved by the use of black light traps in this test in Kentucky.
