Eucalyptus plantations can be affected by species of defoliating caterpillars. The integrated management of this group primarily involves a monitoring system, natural enemies, and biological products. Alternative control methods, including the use of conventional light traps, have not been adopted, mostly because of their low efficiency. Therefore, a more efficient light trap model was developed. The new model allowed the capture of 3.6 times as many insects as the conventional model, with a 261% gain in control efficiency. The use of this new model represents another integrated management alternative for lepidopteran pests of eucalyptus plantations and other cultured plants.
桉树种植园可能会受到食叶毛虫种类的影响。对这一类害虫的综合管理主要涉及监测系统、天敌和生物制品。包括使用传统诱虫灯在内的其他防治方法尚未被采用，主要是因为其效率低下。因此，开发了一种效率更高的诱虫灯模型。新模型捕获的昆虫数量是传统模型的3.6倍，防治效率提高了261%。这种新模型的使用为桉树种植园和其他栽培植物的鳞翅目害虫提供了另一种综合管理方案。
