A field experiment was conducted in farmer’s field during the kharif season of 2014-15 under irrigated condition at Hittinahalli and Jumanal villages of Vijayapur district of Karnataka to evaluate the efficacy of different pheromone trap models as monitoring devices for brinjal shoot and fruit borer Leucinodes orbonalis. The water trap (WOTA) model had significantly highest number of moths catches (seasonal mean of 3.08 moths/trap/five days ) with lowest mean shoot damage (5.48 %) and lowest mean fruit damage (15.03 %) resulting into highest yield (489 q ha-1). The next best treatment was locally prepared can trap with highest moth catch (2.03 moths/trap) with lowest mean shoot damage (6.56 %), lowest mean fruit damage (17.83 %) and highest yield (416 q ha-1).
