Attract‐and‐kill as a new strategy for the management of the potato tuber moths <i>Phthorimaea operculella</i> (Zeller) and <i>Symmetrischema tangolias</i> (Gyen) in potato: evaluation of its efficacy under potato field and storage conditions

Abstract

Attract-and-kill is very effective in controlling the two potato tuber moth species under both field and storage conditions; it is a new, attractive and (for storage conditions) low-cost method that can be easily integrated in potato pest management programmes, especially in small-scale agricultural systems of the tropics and subtropics.
