    <abstract language="eng">An experiment was carried out during <i>rabi </i>2011 and <i>summer</i> 2012 in Large Plot Completely Randomized Design with four treatments <i>viz., </i>pheromone traps @ 30, 40, 50 /ha  and control withten replications to standardize the requirement of pheromone traps for mass trapping of <i>Helicoverpa armigera </i>(Hubner) Hardwick infesting tomato [<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i> Linnaeus] crop. The results revealed that the highest moth catches were recorded (9630 moths /ha) during first year, while 9405moths /ha were recorded during second year with an average of 9518 /ha during two consecutive years. The treatment of 50 traps /ha recorded significantly lowest population of eggs (0.78 /10 twigs), lowest larval population (1.32 /10 twigs) resulting in lowest fruit damage (3.71%).</abstract>
