“…This behavior-based approach has reduced the amount of pesticide needed for fruit fly control and has been used successfully in many integrated pest management and eradication programs, including those with B. dorsalis (Piñero et al 2009) and B. cucurbitae (Vargas et al 2010). Proprietary aqueous protein baits that incorporate ammonia derivatives also have been developed (Heath et al 1997;Epsky et al 1999Epsky et al , 2014. However, often commercial protein bait and lure materials are not accessible to farmers due to high cost and/or lack of availability in several regions of the world (Sookar et al 2002).…”

“…Thus, effective and long acting mass trapping would help to eliminate or reduce the use of chemical treatments. The Medfly, as with most Tephritid flies of economic importance, strongly responds to stimuli, such as food attractants (Delrio and Ortu 1988, Heath et al, 1995, Zervas 1993, Bakri et al, 1998, Epsky et al, 1999, Gazit et al 1998), visual attractants (Cytrynowicz et al, 1982 and sex attractants (Cunningham, 1989). An important role seems to be played by optical and chemical stimuli from the host fruits (Levinson et al, 1990, Katsoyannos, 1987.…”

To clarify questions regarding the effectiveness of the many different types of traps and semiochemicals used for the monitoring and the control of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Τephrititae), seven trap types, four food attractants, one sex attractant and a combination of food and sex attractant, were evaluated under field conditions in orange orchards in fall. No major differences were observed between trap designs resembling the original McPhail glass trap. The plastic bottle trap of 1,5L volume, with four side openings for one-way fly entrance, proved very efficient when filled with a proteinaceous food attractant Ζ1. From the attractants, two of them, Ζ1 and Entomela showed the best performance. The combination of food and a sex attractant showed no significant synergistic effects on trap efficiency. The findings allow a better choice among trap types and attractants, available today in the market, for Medfly monitoring and control.

“…The use of the latter is associated with environmental problems, and for some time attention has been focused on developing alternatives. Recently, a highly selective and effective combination of synthetic food attractants (Biolure: ammonium acetate, trimethylamine and putrescine) has been developed for capturing medfly females (Heath et al, 1997;Epsky et al, 1999;Miranda et al, 2001;Alemany et al, 2004a, among Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research (2006 4(2), 161-166 others). In Spain, Biolure attractants have been very useful in their mass trapping on peaches (Sastre et al, 1999), custard apples (Ros et al, 2002) and citrus fruits (Alemany et al, 2004b).…”

“…The conventional method estimates population density by transforming data into average captures per trap per sampling period (Hedström, 1993;Katsoyannos et al, 1999). However, this only shows temporal changes in the target organism's population; it provides no information on spatial distribution.…”

This paper compares the results obtained when analysing the population density of the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata [Wiedemann]) by standard methods and kriging interpolation. The data used were collected during a pest control experiment involving mass trapping of the females of this species in a citrus orchard. These captures provided a series of diagrams showing the heterogeneous spatial distribution of the flies. Since trapping began at the end of June, the insects were first caught preferentially in trees at the western and southern borders of the orchard. As the number of flies grew the rest of the crop was invaded. Kriging provided information that would allow more efficient pest management by focusing control efforts on areas where target populations are at their largest.Additional key words: Ceratitis capitata, kriging, mass trapping, pest management, spatial distribution. ResumenDistribución espacio-temporal de las capturas de la mosca mediterránea de la fruta (Diptera: Tephritidae) en una parcela de cítricos en MallorcaEn este trabajo se comparan los resultados obtenidos al evaluar la densidad poblacional de una plaga mediante el método de muestreo convencional y el procesado de los mismos mediante kriging. Para ello se utilizaron los datos obtenidos durante un experimento de control de la mosca mediterránea de la fruta Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) a base del trampeo masivo de hembras en una plantación de cítricos, obteniéndose una serie de diagramas que muestran la distribución espacial heterogénea de las capturas en la parcela. Se observa como al iniciarse éstas a final de junio, se localizan preferentemente en los árboles situados en los bordes occidental y sur de la plantación, para luego ir invadiendo todo el cultivo a medida que aumenta el nivel del insecto. El uso del kriging se muestra en este estudio como una eficaz herramienta para el manejo de plagas, aportando información que permite aplicar de forma más precisa los métodos adecuados para su control, concentrándolos en las zonas en las que hay mayor densidad poblacional.Palabras clave adicionales: Ceratitis capitata, control de plagas, distribución espacial, kriging.
