Different sex pheromone trap designs were tested for catching male moth catches of brinjal shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in farmers’ field around Baglkot, Karnataka. Amongst trap designs, water trap was found more promising as evidenced by the maximum number of moth catches as compared to Funnel trap, Fligh-t trap, cross winged trap and delta sticky trap. the mean male moth catches recorded in water trap, Funnel trap, Fligh-t trap, cross winged trap catches were 17.10, 0.05, 0.20 and 0.00, respectively. similar trend with respect to male moth catches was also observed in second field experiment also.
