Since 1981, the suitability of pheromone-baited traps for monitoring the European corn borer has been investigated in several regions of the Federal Republic of Germany (mainly in South Hesse, Rheinland-Pfalz, Baden-Wuerttemberg and Bavaria). In all regions with remarkable corn borer-damage, the Z-strain of the moth was of superior importance as compared to the E-strain and associated hybrids. At least in South Hesse, the 'Pherocon lC-trap' (Zoecon, USA) with an ECB-1 bait as well as the 'Biotrap' (Hoechst AG, FRG) with 20 mig or 60 mig of 97 Z- : 3 E-11-tetradecenyl acetate per dispenser proved to be useful. For reduction of catches of non-target insects in 'Biotrap' traps, a green or black painting of the white-coloured trap is recommended
