Different trap alternatives have been tested to strengthen the national program against fruit flies in México, contributing to propose of a new trap design and a more efficient method, with rational use of resources and environmental protection. The effectiveness of bait station MS2® combined with Cera Trap® attractant was tested with respect to other treatments on grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf. var. Blanca), in the Cañadas Community, Martínez de la Torre Municipality, Veracruz State...

Powdery mildew diseases cause severe losses in a wide variety of crop plants, for which no polyvalent fungicide measuresare available for every disease situation. In addition, alternative treatments for plant disease protection have recently raised moreinterest due to restrictions and environmental concerns regarding the use of pesticides worldwide. This study was aimed at verify anew technology for integrated disease management strategies to protect crops against pathogenic fungi. Armurox®...

The herbicide glyphosate inhibits the shikimate pathway of the synthesis of amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, andtryptophan. However, much uncertainty remains concerning precisely how glyphosate kills plants or affects cellular redoxhomeostasis and related processes in glyphosate-sensitive and glyphosate-resistant crop plants. To address this issue, weperformed an integrated study of photosynthesis, leaf proteomes, amino acid profiles, and redox profiles in the glyphosatesensitive...

This paper reports on progress and innovations recently introduced at the National Programme of Fruit Flies in Mexico. It offers data about analternative for catch of especially the fruit flies Anastrepha spp., using together with the bait station MS2® and the efficient attractant CeraTrap®,which decreases the rates of MTD (flies/trap/day) in four weeks. New method was considered an environmentally friendly alternative with lessinjurious effects on beneficial fauna by reduced insecticide a...

Scientific articles | Dacus Trap®
Field trials were conducted on olive trees (Olea europaea cv. Manzenilo and Picual) in Kidron (Israel) and Jaén (Spain) to assess the efficacy of a specifically developed enzymatic hydrolyzed protein (Dacus Trap®) against the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin). The efficacy of Dacus Trap was evaluated in comparison with standard farm control strategies (chemical treatments), assessing olive flies population and punctured drupes. The efficacy field trials results showed that i) olive...
