“…Although EGO Pheroluredid not capture any B. dorsalis, EGO Pherolure (new device) and EGO Pherolure + Permethrin (new device) captured nine and eight B. dorsalis males, respectively. These findings are in accordance with Mwatawala et al [21], who also reported a low response to enrich ginger oil-containing products.…”

Abstract:Fruit fly species' responses to lures are critically important, especially when a single lure might be recommended for the purpose of trapping multiple fruit fly species in commercial fruit orchards. Fruit industries are facing threats from the recent invasion of the oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) into novel areas in South Africa. The objective of this study was to test the relative efficiency of 13 different trapping systems for fruit fly species in mango orchards in South Africa. Evaluation of the different monitoring systems was conducted during the 2013-2014 mango season in the Vhembe district municipality of Limpopo, South Africa. Four orchards, where Tommy Atkins was cultivated, were used to compare the efficacy of the trapping systems. Trapping data (N = 48 observation incidences per trapping system) were analyzed using a non-parametric ANOVA. Pronounced variation in species attractiveness across the trapping systems was found. The enriched ginger oil (EGO) Pherolure TM captured 33.77% of all the Ceratitis spp., while the Invader-lure TM captured 36.47% of the total number of B. dorsalis trapped. Torula yeast pellets are not recommended for fruit fly trapping due to the relative low trap catch numbers and high non-target catches. These results are important and significant for on-farm monitoring strategies, as well as for invasion monitoring systems currently in place to detect the distribution of B. dorsalis in South Africa.

“…Enriched ginger oil (EGO) is a source of alpha-coapane and is known to be an attractant for Ceratitis species [6,20,21]. It also has a male enhancing component, because exposure to its aroma increases the mating success of males [22][23][24].…”

“…In a previous study, the catches of Ceratitis rosa and Ceratitis capitata by EGO lure were equal or superior to TM (Mwatawala et al 2013). The present study showed that EGO lure is a significantly stronger attractant for the males of Ceratitis rosa , Ceratitis capitata and Ceratitis cosyra .…”

Two standard parapheromones, trimedlure (routinely used for monitoring Ceratitis rosa and Ceratitis capitata) and terpinyl acetate (routinely used for monitoring Ceratitis cosyra) were compared with enriched ginger root oil (EGO) lure for detecting and monitoring the presence and relative population abundance of these particular pest species. Standard yellow fruit fly traps were used for the comparison, which was conducted at 10 sites along an altitudinal transect ranging from 540 to 1650 masl on the Uluguru mountains, in Morogoro Region (Central Tanzania). A gradual change of relative occurrence of the two Ceratitis rosa morphotypes was clear from the EGO lure trapping. The morphotype R1 was predominant at lower altitudes while morphotype R2 was predominant at higher altitudes. Further experiments are needed to confirm the consistency of the observed pattern across regions, seasons and years as well as possible differences in the developmental physiology of both morphotypes. The mango fruit fly, Ceratitis cosyra, showed a distinct predominance at altitudes below 800 masl as shown in both the EGO lure and the terpinyl acetate trapping. The catches of all three target species were higher in traps with the EGO lure compared to the conventional lures trimedlure and terpinyl acetate. It is argued that for these species EGO lure can act as a suitable and more effective alternative for trimedlure and terpinyl acetate parapheromones. In addition, EGO lure has the added advantage that it combines the taxon spectrum for the two latter substances, thus requiring the use of only a single attractant.

“…Remarks while this species was until recently unknown, it has been found in relatively high numbers (up to 400 flies/trap/week) through trapping activities using enriched ginger oil (EGOlure, Insect Science, tzaneen South africa) in central tanzania (Mwatawala et al 2013; referred to as 'C. near cosyra').…”
