Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: In 1995, we developed a whitefly adult trap (CC trap). The trap can be used for monitoring migratory adult populations and seasonal fluctuations. However, fewer adults were caught compared to a commercial Dome traps (Trapp it, AgriSense, Palo Alto, CA) and yellow sticky card traps. We modified the CC trap design to retain more of the adults attracted to and entering the traps. Results showed that the modified CC trap caught more adults than Dome trap. On some occasions, the modified CC trap also caught more adults than the 3 x 5 inch yellow sticky card traps.
