Scientists in three states collaborated to do a comparison of bollworm moth catches in Hartstack-style moth traps vs. green bucket traps. Additionally, bucket traps were baited with either 1 or 2 pheromones to see if that affected moth catches. There were multiple trapping locations in each state. The intent was to determine if the cheaper and easier bucket traps are a suitable replacement for the Hartstack traps.  Correlation analyses will be done to compare these trapping data.  So stick that in your pipe and smoke it ... I put that in to see if anyone reads this stuff.
