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...

Background: Due to the economic impact of fruit flies, much attention has been focused onthe development of trapping systems for detection and monitoring pests and more recently toprovide successful pest control without the use of insecticides. This is due to the lately publicdemand for more benign control techniques. In this respect, the mass trapping techniqueattempts to provide successful pest control reducing the pest population in the plot by meansof traps baited with a lure with or wit...
