Comparison of attractivs and traps for the capture of fruit flu in orange (Citrus sinensis L. osbeck)

Despite management programs and control systems established to date in citrus for fruit flies, it remains a major phytosanitary problem for orange crop in Mexico, mainly due to lack of viable alternatives and economic conditions for small farmers. In this experiment, a higher incidence of Anastrepha ludens was detected, followed by A. obliqua and in less quantity A. striata. The trap-attractant binomial with best capture effectiveness was Ceratrap-PET, followed by Ceratrap-Multilure. The female / male sex relation was in A. ludens (1,8:1), while in A. striata (1.5:1) and A. obliqua it was inverse (1,8:1). The highest Fly / Trap / Day (MTD) obtained was in Ceratrap-PET (0.4524) and Ceratrap-Multilure (0.3869). No fruit damage was detected, but must be considered an area to high prevalence of fruit fly in the state.
