Rice is the world’s most important food crop and a primary source of food for more than
half of the world’s population. More than 70% of the people of the Arunachal Pradesh are
engaged in agriculture. Some traditional lures used in north east region of India like
fermented fish, Puntius spp., fermented paste made up of the same, rotten pineapple, rotten
crab, rotten frog and a dry fish, Harpadon nehereus were evaluated for the trapping
potential against gundhi bug. Maximum numbers of bugs were trapped with rotten frog
(11.7) followed by the fermented paste prepared from Puntius spp. (11.4). The next best
lures found were fermented fish, Puntius spp. and dry fish, H. nehereus with 7.6 bugs per
trap in a week, for both the lures. The trapping potential of rotten crab showed 4.4 bugs per
trap in a week whereas the rotten pineapple with 0.7 bugs per trap in a week was observed
as poor as control (0.3 bugs per trap in a week). Therefore, it can be interpreted from the
study that the rotten frog and the fermented paste prepared from Puntius spp. had the
maximum potential among the lures evaluated. Apart from this, more among the evaluated
lures like fermented fish (Puntius spp.), dry fish (H. nehereus) and rotten crab can also be
used for the purpose of mass trapping of gundhi bugs depending on their trapping potential
and ease of availability.
