ABSTRACT
Colours sticky traps are key components used to monitor and reduce the pest population by trapping individuals and killing them. In this study, four different colours sticky traps, including yellow, green, red and blue were screened on following ten mustard varieties including P-23R-2, NM-8, P-25, UCD-1202, ER-22, P-107R7, NRT02/8, P6, P1191 and Sindh Raya to evaluate the attractiveness of sucking insect pests. The results showed that, the maximum number of jassid (12.40±0.99) was recorded on the yellow trap followed by green (7.70±0.85) and blue (1.60±0.22), whereas the minimum number (0.50±0.16) was recorded on red trap in all mustard varieties. The maximum thrip (54.30±1.89) was recorded on yellow trap followed by green (18.20±1.22) and blue (7.40±0.70), whereas the minimum number of thrips (2.00±0.25) was recorded on red trap. Whitefly maximum number (19.50±1.42) was recorded on yellow trap followed by green (6.90±0.62) and blue (5.40±0.42), whereas minimum (0.50±0.16) was recorded on red trap in all mustard varieties. The maximum population of aphid (78.30±4.51) was recorded on yellow trap followed by green (51.50±2.34) and blue (32.30±2.68), and minimum population (10.30±1.15) was recorded on red trap in all mustard varieties. The results indicated that, there was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the number of jassid, thrips, whitefly and aphid catches through different sticky traps in all mustard varieties. The experiment was conducted at the Oilseeds Section, Agriculture Research Institute, Tandojam, Sindh, Pakistan during 2017-18 on the monitoring of sucking pest on mustard crop through different colours sticky traps.
