12. Evaluation of the candidate pheromones was conducted at the fields of the Embrapa-CPAO, in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in October and November of 2004. Capture data were collected weekly for at least five consecutive weeks. After inspection of the traps, the data were tested for significance by ANOVA using the R statistical package (R Development Core Team 2005). The treatments followed by the same letter are not significantly different at 5% probability.
