The use of mass trapping in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) schemes targeting Ceratitis capitata Wiedmann (Diptera: Tephritidae) has proved to be efficient. However, there has been much disagreement regarding the potential undesirable impacts of such attractant on non-target organisms. In this study, two years field trials were conducted in two peach orchards to assess the efficacy of two synthetic food-based baits from different origins (one from vegetal origin and Continue Reading

In the town of Motupe, Lambayeque, in a commercial field of mango Kent, 15 years old, the present experiment was carried out with the aim of measuring the attraction and capture capacity of Cera Trap on the fruit flies Ceratitis capitata and Anastrepha spp, compared to attractants based on hydrolyzed protein and torula yeast. The food attractants were placed in 1.5 L plastic bottles, with four 0.8 mm diameter holes equidistant in the lower third of the bottle and installed in the lower third...

Malathion bait sprays to control medfly, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae), in Tunisian citrus orchards is expected to be phased out in the near future due to low residue tolerance inthe fruits by consumers. Attract and kill strategy that encompasses mass trapping and bait station techniques has become awidespread method for controlling medfly. Effectiveness of two bait station methods (AAL&K® and Ceranock®) and two attractants for mass trapping (Ce...
