“…Flight peak was reached between the middle of July and middle of August in the Lithuanian population. Such annual fluctuations of flight period were most likely caused by the differences in the weather conditions.The total duration of R. batava flight period established in the present study, is close to that recorded in Germany(Toth et al, 2016) and differs from that reported in Mongolia and Russia (Siberia, Asian part), where flight period starts 2-3 weeks earlier(Shamanskaya, 2015;Zhao et al, 2017).…”

“…As special traps are commonly used for insect pest monitoring, the data on trap type (including colour) suitable for R. batava trapping are needed. Although flies of many species from genus Rhagoletis were attracted by yellow colour (Agee et al, 1982; Yee, 2011; 2012; 2013; Yee, Goughnour, 2011; Toth et al, 2014), this was not the case for R. batava, when field testing was carried out using sticky "cloak" (PAL and PALz) type traps (Toth et al, 2016). It still remains to be investigated whether this behavioural phenomenon of R. batava species is an exception within the genus Rhagoletis.…”

The sea buckthorn fruit fly Rhagoletis batava Hering, 1938 is the most important pest of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) and causes big losses of berry yield. Recently, the fly has been rapidly spreading in European buckthorn plantations. The objective of the research was to establish seasonal flight period and diurnal mating period of R. batava as well as to compare the efficiency of traps differing in colour and type for trapping fruit flies under field conditions. In Lithuania, annual flight period of R. batava lasts approximately six weeks, it starts at the end of June and ceases in August with a peak from the middle of July till the middle of August on average. Both beginning of the flight period and peak activity may vary by about 20 days between years. Mating period of sea buckhorn fruit flies lasts during all light period of a day without a clearly pronounced peak. Among the 7 colours of traps tested, the most attractive was yellow, in which catches were 1.5-7.8 times more abundant compared to the traps of the other colours. The ratio of R. batava females caught by McPhail traps was higher compared to that in sticky traps. Location of traps on feminine bushes increases captures of sea buckthorn fruit flies by approximately 50% compared to the traps located on masculine bushes.

“…Lures contained 5 g of AC, AA, or 5 g of a 1:1 mix, except in one test where 10 g of a 1:1 mix was used. The 1:1 mix of AC:AA is the ratio in a commercial lure developed for R. cerasi ( Toth et al 2016 ). Ammonia release rate was regulated by varying hole diameters, and determined from the AC lure by measuring weight loss as well as using Nessler’s reagent following methods of Rana and Mastrorilli (1998) ( Table 1 ).…”

“…The choice of attractant for R. cerasi has been ammonium acetate (AA; Katsoyannos et al 2000 , Molet and Moylett 2016 ) or a mix of it and AC ( Toth et al 2016 ). This raises the question of whether AA can be as or more efficacious for R .…”

Efficacies of Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae) Traps and Ammonium Lures for Western Cherry Fruit Fly

Western cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a quarantine pest of cherries (Prunus spp.) in western North America that can be detected using sticky yellow rectangle traps. Recently, a related invasive fly from Europe and Asia, the European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), was detected in eastern North America, prompting surveys for it in the West. Sticky crossed-panel yellow Rebell and cylindrical-type yellow PALz traps were developed for R. cerasi and are effective for monitoring it, raising the question of efficacies of three-dimensional versus rectangle traps against R. indifferens. Here, efficacies of the Yellow Sticky Strip (YSS) rectangle, thus far the best trap for R. indifferens, and Rebell and PALz traps with ammonium lures were determined for R. indifferens in Washington State. The Rebell and YSS traps caught similar numbers of R. indifferens and more than the PALz trap. Ammonium carbonate (AC) released more ammonia than ammonium acetate and attracted more R. indifferens to all three traps. The large surface area or shape of the Rebell trap was responsible for its high efficacy relative to the YSS. Results suggest that YSS and Rebell traps with AC would be equally useful for detecting R. indifferens, and that a crossed-sheet YSS trap could be even more efficacious than the YSS due to greater surface area. For R. cerasi detection surveys in Washington, the PALz trap would be preferred over the Rebell trap if they are equally efficacious against R. cerasi, as fewer R. indifferens would clutter traps.

“…Current tools available for monitoring R. batava populations are ineffective. Yellow sticky traps are still recommended and used [11] and the use of nonspecific attractant has also been recently reported [12]. Pheromone identification could fill this gap and be applied for pest population monitoring and potentially contribute to environmentally friendly pest control.…”

The plantation area of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is expanding in many European countries due to increasing demand for berries, thus creating suitable conditions for the rapid expansion of the fruit fly Rhagoletis batava, a pest of economic importance. To decrease insecticide use, effective means for pest population monitoring are required, including the use of pheromones. Male fruit flies emit (-)-δ-heptalactone as revealed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses of samples obtained using headspace methods. The two enantiomers of δ-heptalactone were synthesized using enantioselective synthesis. A gas chromatography-electroantennographic detection analysis of both stereoisomers revealed that only (-)-δ-heptalactone elicited electrophysiological responses, whereas no signal was registered to (+)-δ-heptalactone in fruit flies of either sex. In the field assay, traps baited with (-)-δ-heptalactone caught significantly more fruit flies compared with the unbaited traps. Our results are the first to demonstrate the efficacy of (-)-δ-heptalactone as a bait for trapping R. batava. As a behaviorally attractive compound to R. batava fruit flies of both sexes, (-)-δ-heptalactone is attributed to aggregation pheromones. This is the first report of an aggregation pheromone within the genus Rhagoletis.
