Supplies required: open-ended cylinders (plastic
or glass), 15 cm in diameter, 30 cm long; nylon net (16 mesh);
and purple paper with a rough surface. |
 |
Line the inner surface of the cylinder first
with purple paper and then with a single layer of the nylon netting.
|
 |
To close the lower end of the cylinder, stand
it vertically in a petri dish or other suitable container which
has been lined with purple paper and nylon netting. Place a four-week-old
potted eggplant seedling inside the oviposition cylinder. |
 |
Cover the soil in the pot with aluminum foil.
Next to the plant stem, place a shallow dish containing a cotton
swab that has been dipped in dilute honey. Cover the cylinder
top with nylon net and purple paper secured with an elastic band. |
