Pest monitoring

  • Chapter
Insect Pheromones and their Use in Pest Management

Abstract

When developing an insect pest monitoring system based on semio-chemicals it is important, right from the start, to determine the purpose for which that system is to be used. The end use in most cases will determine what form the monitoring system will take (Wall, 1990). Both scientific and commercial factors should be taken into account when defining such objectives (Wall, 1989).
