“…The three adult host states are: virgin females (V), fertilized females (F), and males (M); age classes are not distinguished in the adults and the numbers represent totals at a given time. The host-parasitoid system is assumed to be regulated by means of host larval competition for resources, as with the model of Barclay and Haniotakis (1991). The model consists of a set of difference equations with k host larval equations and three host adult equations.…”

An age-structured population model is used as a vehicle for presenting a method for the analysis of interactions between pairs of insect pest control methods. This analysis is based on partitioning the total mortality acting on a population into its constituent components from all known sources. Pairwise critical mortality curves are then constructed which represent the combined mortality required for eradicating the pest population. Effort curves are then constructed from computing the mortality resulting from a given amount of control effort. The convolution of the critical mortality curves and the effort curves then yields the isoclines formed by the effort required of two control methods in combination to achieve eradication. This analysis allows the prediction of either synergism or interference between the control methods and also helps explain patterns observed in previous modelling of such combinations of pest control methods.

“…The mass trapping methods can be applied by traps of different constructions, which have to be set on the tree canopy. The traps are filled with different types of attractants and treated by insecticide, or they could be filled with attractant-insecticide water solution (Haniotakis et al, 1983;Barcley and Haniotakis, 1991;Bjeliš, 2006). Mass trapping has been reported to show better efficacy over bait sprays and it has lower cost of application especially human labour (Brumas and Haniotakis, 1987;Bumas et al, 1998;Delrio and Lentini, 1993;Bjeliš, 2006.…”

Mass trapping has demonstrated to be a powerful tool in the control of fruit flies, its use in African countries has currently increased remarkably as a control method. This study evaluated the efficacy of two traps; Lynfield Trap (LT) and Modified Lynfield Trap(MLT) and two lures (Methyl Eugenol (ME) and Protein Bait from Brewery Waste (PBBW)) for mass trapping of Bactrocera invadens Drew, Tsuruta, & White (Diptera: Tephritidae) on mango during 2014 and 2015 fruiting seasons. Traps containing attractants were randomly set on mango homestead trees in three replicates at three selected locations in Ibadan Southwest Nigeria. Results showed no significant difference (p > 0.01) between the trap types baited with ME attractant, although the MLT recorded higher catches of B. invadens during the two seasons. Methyl eugenol was significantly (p < 0.01) more effective than hydrolyzed protein bait from brewery waste in mass trapping B. invadens in the three locations of study. However, ME trapped only male B invadens while PBBW trapped both male and female. B. invadens population was highest at the peak of mango ripening (June) and the density of flies trapped in 2015 was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than 2014 in all the locations. Suitable choice of traps, lures and season enhances the mass trapping results. The use of Protein bait from brewery waste and modified lynfield trap for monitoring B. invadens and population suppression is promising and should be encouraged since they attract both sexes and less cost effective.

“…With regard to the chemical attractants used in the traps, comparative tests have shown that a combination of food and sex attractants in the same trap are more effective for control purposes than any attractant type alone (Haniotakis and Vassiliou-Waite, 1987). The same has been shown in computer simulations of the population dynamics of this pest (Barcley and Haniotakis, 1991).…”

The efficacy of an improved form of the mass‐trapping method for the control of the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) was tested for 4 years in a pilot test at Tanagra Voeotia, Greece. Improvements consisted of the extension of the active life of the toxic trap used, active life referring both to its attracting and killing properties, as well as in trap deployment, which combined efficacy and low cost. The method was compared to bait sprays applied from the ground, which constitutes the current standard method for the control of this pest. Both pest population density and fruit infestation levels, the main parameters used for the evaluation of the two methods were considerably lower during all 4 years of tests in the orchards protected by mass trapping compared with those in the orchards protected by bait sprays. Furthermore no complementary measures were required in the mass‐trapping orchards for acceptable crop protection, which was not the case under certain conditions, prior to the introduction of the recent improvements. The cost of the mass‐trapping method was approximately US$ 0.40 per tree per year compared with US$ 0.35 for bait sprays (figures of the Greek Ministry of Agriculture). However, the mass‐trapping method reduces the amount of insecticide used for olive protection by 99.5% (15 mg a.i. per tree per year as opposed to 3 g in the case of bait sprays). A considerable reduction in the cost of the mass‐trapping method is expected with the extension of its use and the mass production of materials used, especially traps.
