Abstract

Sex attractant traps for males of the clover cutworm, Scotogramma trifolii (Rottenberg), on farms in southern Alberta caught more moths within crops or on fallow than those near or within the farmyards except for traps immediately on the south side of the yard For males of the army cutworm, Euxoa auxiliaris (Grote), two trap placements in open areas were more effective than locations within the farmyard, again with the exception of the traps on the south side of the yards. Traps 2 m high caught significantly fewer moths than those at 1 m or ground level and the crop in which the trap was placed had no significant influence on catch of either cutworm.
