“…So, optimizing trap attractants to improve detection of temporal and spatial trends is important in order to improve the efficacy of C. capitata control projects (Lance, 2014). According to Abd El-Kareim et al (2008), Moustafa and Ghanim (2008), Ghanim et al (2014) and Bayoumy and El-Metwally (2017), ammonia are associated with protein-rich foods and has long been known to attract fruit flies. So, Hemeida et al (2017) and El-Metwally (2018) reported that protein-based baits can be enhanced by adding ammonia to them.…”

Hidrogenionic potential (pH) of the baits plays a fundamental role in attracting fruit flies. So, the purposes of this study were to study the effect of pH-level on the ability of protein-based baits to attract Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) under field conditions. Three concentrations of Buminal (2.5, 5 and 10%) in addition to three concentrations of ammonium acetate, ammonium carbonate, di-ammonium phosphate and acetic acid (1, 2 and 3%) added to Buminal 5% were tested by using the modified Nadel traps in navel orange and mandarin orchards. The obtained data showed that the highest effective treatment in attracting C. capitata adults in navel orange and mandarin orchards was that of Buminal + 3% of ammonium acetate, where, pH-levels ranged between 6.32 and 6.89. Buminal + acetic acid when used at pH-levels ranged between 3.73 and 4.43 were less attractive to C. capitata. All of the tested treatments obviously attracted females more than males. Statistically, C. capitata adults specifically were females affected by pH-level more than concentration percentage. C. capitata preferred baits which had pH-levels ranged between 5.5 and 8.5 and the highest attractive treatments were occurred between 6.32 and 8.29.

“…While, the rest of tested compounds' concentrations attracted both sexes with no signi cant differences between them. 59 `The data also showed inequality in the attracting of Bactrocera zonata among different synthetic proteinaceous food baits i.e., ammonium acetate, papaya powder +kachri powder, KOH and guava pulp. Data revealed that ammonium acetate attracted the highest number of B. zonata at all the tested baits that conformed where ammonium acetate was the highest attractiveness for the adults (male and female) B zonata.…”

Family Tephritidae, Bactrocera zonata is a serious pest, attacking fruits and vegetables causing a large quantitive and qualitative damages throughout the world. Fruit fly required proteinaceous food for sexual maturation and eggs development. Therefore, food bait attractants are widely used for detection, monitoring, mass trapping and controlling fruit flies. We therefore screening out the most suitable synthetic proteinaceous food bait attractants to volatiles distinguished by the fruit fly antennae through Y-shape olfactometer (Behavioral assays). The response of B. zonata adults male and females to some ammonium compounds (ammonium acetate, trimethylamine and putrescine) that mixed with certain food attractants were evaluated under laboratory conditions from 5-day old flies to 30 days old. To find potential mixtures that might be beneficial in developing fruit fly attractants for male and especially for females. So, four base baits developed by mixing protein hydrolysate with Jaggery, papa powder, kachri powder, KOH and guava pulp. Finally, thirty-two (32), synthetic blends were developed when above four base baits mixed with synthetic attractants. Results from the olfactometer bioassay indicated that protein hydrolysate + jaggery, protein hydrolysate + jaggery + AA and, protein hydrolysate + Jaggery + AA + TMA + Putrescine were effective both male and female throughout the adult life span when jaggery was used as base baits. Similarly, protein hydrolysate + Guava pulp + AA + TMA and protein hydrolysate + Guava pulp + AA + TMA + Putrescine also effective for the attraction of both male and female from 5th to 30 days life span when guava pulp was used as base baits. There was also variation in the pH of the baits due to different chemical composition of attractants as well as different food constituents. Bait proteins pH was a significant factor that may be strongly associated with the attraction efficiency of male and female fruit flies B. zonata.

“…El-Gendy [32] added that borax makes the solution of ammonium compounds more alkaline and therefore increases release of ammonia from the bait solution degrees, relative humidity and/or population level of the attracted flies. Also, many authors showed through regression analysis that attraction of some ammonium compounds and food attractants decreased by time after treatment [24,25,26,48]. Epsky et al [44] and El-Gendy [32] mentioned that there were no significant differences in pH levels of food baits and ammonium compounds over the time period of the test.…”

“…He added that the lures affected the sexes similarly in terms of relative responses. Also, many studies reported that ammonium compounds and protein-biased baits attracted more female than male flies [24,25,26,29,31,32,40,41,43,49]. Rousse et al [30] showed that numerically more females than males of B. cucurbitae were caught in traps baited with food attractants especially when they were protein starved.…”

The peach fruit fly, Bactrocerazonata (Saunders) is a serious pest attacking a wide range of fruits. Field experiments were carried out, at Mansoura district, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt to evaluate the efficiency of di- ammonium phosphate, ammonium carbonate and ammonium acetate in enhancing GF-120, as insecticidal bait, for B. zonata based on their pH level under high and low population levels of B. zonata. Results showed that di-ammonium phosphate enhanced the attractiveness of GF-120 the most, followed by ammonium carbonate and ammonium acetate. Without adding any of the ammonium compounds to the GF-120 bait, the bait attracted the fewest B. zonata flies regardless of population levels. As the concentrations of ammonium compounds increased, the pH-level increased as well in the prepared GF-120 solutions, resulting in increased numbers of B. zonata flies captured. In contrast to males, females of B. zonata were more responsive to increase concentrations of the three ammonium compounds tested. Accordingly, all treatments attracted females more than males. The sex ratio (as number of attracted females per one male) was generally higher under low than high fly population levels.
