Abstract: An experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2015-2016 at experimental farm, Adhartal and roof of college building, College of Agriculture, JNKVV, Jabalpur, (M.P.). The statistical analysis of present study revealed that there was no significant difference between two faces or sides i.e. east and west sides of the trap installed at 1 m height and at 14 m height. Further, the statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between the mean number of adult whitefly trapped on yellow sticky traps at two different heights i.e. 1m and 14 m above the ground level. The mean number of adult whitefly catches was higher on yellow sticky trap installed at 14 m height on roof of building than that of the mean number of whitefly catches on trap installed at 1 m height in the field and this indicates that the availability of whitefly catches was more on traps installed at 14 m height than at 1 m height. The trap height has an effect on adult whitefly catches as the whitefly population increases as the trap height increases.
