Summary: Among the cultivation limitations of the cupuassu crop (Theobroma grandifl orum), stands out the cupuassu fruit borer (Conotrachelus sp.). The larvae of this insect attack the fruits and can cause heavy losses. This insects show peculiar characteristics of biological development (in the fruit and on the soil), this factor complicates the study and the obtainment of control tactics. The aim with this work was to test traps for capture of cupuassu fruit borer adults.
