Helicoverpa armigera- in Pigeonpea ecosystem -Efficient trap

For the mass trapping of the H. armigera males, the trap design should be as simple as possible with a 2cm gap between lid and sleeve (clearance space) and without funnel, and kept at a height of 1m. The sleeve length should be 54cm and the trap should have a handle for tying it to a bamboo stick.
