Abstract

The present investigation was carried out by installing two light traps with different light sources in the experimental site one is inside the polyhouse and the other is outside the poly house. Insects were collected regularly from the third week of September 2019 to the second week of March 2020. During the study, in all 8 predaceous and 6 harmful species were observed in the light trap inside the polyhouse. Seven major insect pest species and some unidentified Lepidopteran moths were identified and collected outside the polyhouse, as important positively phototropic insect pest in rabi crops. The light sources used in light trap SMV-4 models were 8+8 watt UV (10”tubes) and 15 watt UV (15” tube).
