The invention discloses a method for measuring the trapping and killing effect of Spodoptera litura adults, which comprises the following steps: (1) Design of test plots: prepare several closed test plots without Spodoptera litura occurrence, divide the test plots into trapping and killing treatment zones and Blank control area; (2) Host plant planting: Spodoptera litura host plants were uniformly planted in each test plot, and the size and growth of the Spodoptera litura host plants were consistent; (3) Trapping treatment; (4) Pupa insertion; (5) Data recording; (6) Calculation of trapping effects. The present invention eliminates the uncertain factors of outdoor evaluation, and designs a larger closed community, which can not only meet the physiological life, mating and oviposition activities of Spodoptera litura, but also reflect the actual production situation, except that Spodoptera litura cannot fly outwards. The other conditions outside of flying in and out are basically consistent with the natural state, which ensures that the test data is close to the natural state, which not only reduces the area of the field test, but also shortens the period of the field test.
