Anastrepha fruit flies are major agricultural pests in the Americas (White & Elson-Harris, 1992). The West Indian fruit fly, Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a pest of mango, Mangifera indica L., which threatens the commercialization and export of those fruits (Hernández-Ortiz & Aluja, 1993). It is also considered a potential threat to crops in tropical and subtropical regions elsewhere, including southern Asia and northeastern Australia (Fu et al., 2014).Food attractants have been used in surveillance programmes targeted at Anastrepha spp. for over eight decades (Epsky et al., 2014). Food lures, however, are considered to be weak attractants and elicit highly variable fly responses, depending on the type and age of the attractant and also vary across tephritid species, crops and ambient

“…Inverted bottle traps containing Cue-lure plugs (Scentry Biologicals Inc., Billings, MT, USA) and multi lure McPhail-type traps baited with 3 torula yeast tablets (Scentry Biologicals Inc., Billings, MT, USA) diluted in 300 mL of water per trap were used to attract melon flies and to identify roosting plants prior to spot spray treatments. Cue-lure is a male attractant [ 35 ] and torula yeast attracts both males and females [ 36 ]. The Nu-Lure and insecticide combination was sprayed at 7-day intervals as a low volume application using wand-type spot-spray equipment.…”

High levels of resistance to the spinosad-based insecticidal protein bait GF-120 have been detected in some populations of melon fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae), in Hawaii in 2017. To provide cucurbit farmers in Hawaii with alternative insecticides, we field-tested the effectiveness of Agri-Mek SC (a.i., abamectin), Mustang Maxx (a.i., zeta-cypermethrin), and Malathion 5EC (a.i., malathion), added to a protein bait spray (Nu-Lure Insect Bait). The insecticide and protein bait combinations were applied to the roosting plants of Z. cucurbitae around the perimeter of the cucurbit fields at one-week intervals. When individually tested, all three insecticides in combination with protein bait significantly reduced or suppressed the numbers of female flies caught in torula yeast traps. A two-week rotation of weekly applications of the three insecticides and GF-120 significantly reduced Z. cucurbitae numbers on a commercial zucchini farm on Maui. The percentage of marketable fruits harvested increased from 51% to 98% after implementing the insecticide rotation. Our findings will be used to provide cucurbit farmers with additional products to control Z. cucurbitae. The future focus will be on educating cucurbit farmers to use the insecticide rotation strategy to prevent or delay resistance development.

“…These involve significant handling to measure and apply the liquids, and also potential health risks due to pesticide exposure [6,[19][20][21]. However, eventually, there is progressing toward replacement of liquid C-L and ME and insecticides with solid formulations (such as C-L plugs or Scentry ME cones, North Bend, WA, ME wafers, Farma Tech (FT), Boseman, MT) [3,22,23] and with solid lure/insecticide (such as DDVP) combinations [9], which proved convenience and safe for workers. Again, it was revealed that traps lacking an insecticide and containing a male lure generally captured fewer Z. cucurbitae or B. dorsalis males compared to those containing a naled plus lure or a separate DDVP strip [19].…”

The present study investigated the efficacy of solid male lures viz., cuelure (C-L), methyl eugenol (ME) and tri-med lure (TML) formulated with insecticide for the capture of Tephritid fruit flies in three different green areas of Bangladesh. We also evaluated non-target attraction effects to traps baited with these male lures. Traps were placed at nine locations in each of three experimental fields of Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh during May-September, 2015. The experimental areas were i. Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE) colony, ii. AERE office campus, and iii. Jahangirnagar University (JU) campus, comprising agricultural fields, backyard gardens and mixed plantation. The flies were collected at weekly interval over 18 weeks. Total capture of Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coq.), Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), Zeugodacus tau (Walker), and Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) were determined. The number of non-target insects attracted to different lure baited traps was also recorded. The prevalence of Dacine fruit flies was significantly higher at the JU campus comprising 98.41% B. dorsalis (538.05±62.28 fly/trap/week (FTW)) captured by ME. The comparatively higher number of Z. cucurbitae, and Z. tau trapped by C-L from AERE office campus, and JU campus, respectively. No Bactrocera spp. was attracted to the TML. Saprophagous non-targets mostly Diptera, Drosophilla, Milichiidae, Hymenoptea (black ants) were abundant in traps baited with C-L and ME. It was revealed that the response to lures was species-specific. Tested solid lures and DDVP strips did not exert any detrimental effects on non-target beneficial insects and were found effective for mass-trapping of Dacine fruit flies.
