The monitoring of the males of the potato tuber moth using the synthetic sex pheromone-baited water pan traps was done during 1993-1995 in Bangladesh consisting of 64 districts. Out of 64 districts monitored each year, males were caught from 37, 24 and 15 districts in 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively indicating that the numbers of districts with male moth catches gradually decreased in subsequent years. Male moths were not caught from 24 districts. The highest catches of the male moths were from the districts of Bogra, Rangpur, Dinajpur, Joypurhat and Thakurgaon constituting the northern parts of the country.

To monitor the presence or absence of the pest throughout Bangladesh ( 64 districts) using the synthetic sex pheromone-baited water pan traps in determining the districts having the PTM problem to intensify the research programmes in those districts.

Ten locally designed water pan traps wee set in each of 64 district of Bangladesh. The location of each trap was selected considering the areas of potato cultivation and storage. Each trap consists of three parts: a hood made of tin, an earthen pan, and a metal string having a rubber septum (dispenser) impregnated with PTM sex pheromone suspended at one end as used successfully in capturing the males of the PTM. The pheromone was diluted with methylene chloride at 1g pheromone/200 ml ethylene chloride. Each rubber septum was provided with 0.2 ml pheromone-ethylene chloride solution (i.e. 1.0 mg pheromone/rubber septum) using the microstat {1 ml hypodermic syringe). Within 30 minutes the volatile methylene chloride evaporated leaving a thin film of pheromone within the rubber septa. Pheromone-baited rubber septa such prepared were kept in the refrigerator until use. Each pheromone-baited septum of the trap was replaced by a new one at 60 days intervals (based on the previous experience). Data were collected every morning from each trap on the number of PTM males caught. Water was given in each earthen pot at certain intervals. The study was continued the whole year round for three consecutive years (1993- 1995) in collaboration with the Department of Agricultural Extension. The concerned extension officers were well-trained to the setting and operation of the traps as well as to the identification of the PTM adults prior to the initiation of the monitoring programme.

In 1993, out of 64 districts the PTM males were caught in the pheromone- baited traps from 37 districts, such as Lalmonirhat, Khagrachari, Feni, Noakhali, Kurigram, Rangpur, Natore, Netrokona, Tangail, Jessore, Gopalganj, Narail, Chittagong, Munshiganj, Mymensingh, Jamalpur, Gazipur, Kishoreganj, Rangamati, Hobiganj, Manikganj, Bagerhat, Dinajpur, Narasindi, Chandpur, B-Baria, Rajshahi, Gaibandha, Bogra, Sirajiganj, Thakurgaon, Nawabganj, Joypurhat, Noagaon, Pirojpur, Nilphamari and Magura. No PTM adults were caught from the rest of the districts indicating that apparently males were not available in those districts. From three years monitoring it was observed that out of 64 districts in Bangladesh, the male PTM adults were not caught in pheromone-baited traps form 24 districts such as Rajbari, Cox's Bazar, Moulovibazar, Naraynganj, Barguna, Bandarban, Laximpur, Sunamganj, Dhaka, Bhola, Chuadanga, Camilla, Pabna, Meherpur, Patuakhali, Sylthet, Panchagahr and Shariatpur. Therefore, survey results indicate that 40 districts in Bangladesh have the incidence of the PTM. However, the highest catch of the PTM was recorded from Rangpur, Dinajpur, Bogra, Thakurgaon, and Joypurhat districts which constitute the northern parts of Bangladesh. The survey data support the fact that the PTM causes more damage to the home-stored potatoes in this part of the country as the farmers cannot store potatoes in cold stores due to insufficient cold stores in this area. Again, potato was first cultivated in Rangpur, Bogra, Rajshahi and Mymensingh districts from seed tubers imported from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar of India. It is logical to believe that the PTM was introduced through seed tubers from India to the northern districts of Bangladesh and the problem is still continuing. From the above survey it is clear that the pest has the highest incidence in the northern parts of the country. Efforts should be directed to that part to control the PTM in home-stored potatoes so that the farmers may be benefited by controlling the pest in storage.
