CERA TRAP as alternative to standard fruit fly control in fruit crops of South Africa

April 2016
Posters | Cera-Trap®

Three endemic tephritid fruit fly species, Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly) (Cerratitis capitata), Natal fly (Ceratitis rosa), Marula fly (Ceratitis cosyra) and a fourth species of Asian origin, the Oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis), are considered pests of significant economic and quarantine importance in South Africa (Manrakhan et al. 2011). Fruit flies are notoriously difficult to control due to their polyphagous nature and high number of generations per year (Llorens et al. 2008)....

Response of the sapote fruit fly, Anastrepha serpentina (Diptera: Tephritidae), to commercial lures and trap designs in sapodilla orchards

December 2015
Scientific articles | Cera-Trap®

Anastrepha serpentina (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is one of the least studied of the pestiferous Neotropical tephritid flies despite its propensity to attack several commercial fruit crops, mainly in the Sapotaceae (Ericales). Few studies have been performed to improve monitoring traps and lures specifically targeted at this species. Management currently is achieved by using the hydrolyzed protein lure (Captor®;with borax) and a Multilure®;trap in combination with chemical control m...

Comparison of Hydrolyzed Protein Baits and Various Grape Juice Products as Attractants for Anastrepha Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Scientific articles | Cera-Trap®

Mexican fruit flies, Anastrepha ludens (Loew; Diptera: Tephritidae), have traditionally been trapped in citrus orchards in Mexico using protein hydrolysates as bait. Recently, CeraTrap®, an enzymatic hydrolyzed protein, has emerged as an effective lure for monitoring A. ludens at the orchard level and is currently being used by growers in the region of Veracruz. Several studies have revealed that grape juice is highly attractive to A. ludens, and recent work supports its potential use for r...

Effect of attractants to prevent fruit flies in guava in Temascaltepec, Mexico

June 2015
Scientific articles | Cera-Trap®

The effect of four attractants: CeraTrap, hydrolyzed protein, torula tablets and Flyral spread over five acres of guava trees was evaluated. The variables studied were flies per trap per day and the number of infected larvae per kg of guava. The attractant which was statistically better was CeraTrap. Therefore, the application of CeraTrap for preventing fruit flies is recommended in guava fruit in this community.

Economic and Highly Effective Trap–Lure Combination to Monitor the Mexican Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) at the Orchard Level

May 2015
Scientific articles | Cera-Trap®

Monitoring population levels of the Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha ludens (Loew) (Diptera: Tephritidae), at the orchard level prior and during the fruit ripening period can result in significant savings in the costs of managing this pestiferous insect. Unfortunately, to date, no highly effective and economically viable trap is available to growers. To move toward this goal, trap_lure combinations were evaluated in trials performed in citrus orchards in Veracruz, Mexico. CeraTrap, an enzymatic...
