“…The protein hydrolysate as another attractant which is commonly used to trap fruit flies. It is well documented that B. zonata can be monitored by traps baited with the male lure methyl eugenol, which attracts male flies at very low concentrations and insecticide (14,15). Protein hydrolysate combined with malathion as a bait spry were first used for control of B. dorsalis (16).…”

Purpose: Bactrocera zonata (Diptera, Tephritidae), is considered as a dangerous pest of mango in the south of Iran, which its control is one of the main concerns of farmers who are facing numerous problems. To assay the different methods for controlling B. zonata, this study was carried out. Method: The treatments were, A) spraying 7% methyl eugenol+7% technical malathion on trunk and tree branches, B) soaking 8-10 layers of jute sacks with previous treatment that were attached to tree branches, C) bucket trap along with chipboard that was saturated with 6 ml of methyl eugenol, D) spraying 3% protein hydrolysate+3 ppm malathion (EC 57%) on the trunk and tree branches, E) spraying 3% sugar permit+3 ppm malathion on the trunk and tree branches, and F) control (no treatment). The experiments were repeated at two consecutive years. Results:The results confirmed that the differences among treatments and the effect of the year on the treatments were significant (p>1%). The treatment D captured the highest numbers of fruit flies in both years of replications. The treatments had significant effect on percentage of fruit infestation. Conclusion:The findings confirmed that treatments C and B had the greatest impact on pest control.

“…Similar result was reported by Mahmood et al (2002) who showed a positive correlation between rainfall and Dacus zonatus trapping in peach orchards in Pakistan. All the weather factors, when computed together, contributed maximum towards population fluctuation (Qureshi et al 1992). Su (1984) and Shukla and Prasad (1985) reported that there was a significant and positive correlation between temperature and fruit flies caught per trap.…”

Fruit fly (Bactrocera tau) is the most destructive pest on some fruits in Indonesia. Monitoring of the pest population is essential as one of the procedures in the IPM concept. The study aimed to investigate the seasonal fluctuation of adult males of B. tau and their damage on passion fruits in relation to abiotic factors. The research was done by a survey method on three plots of passion fruit orchards in Alahan Panjang, West Sumatra, Indonesia from March to December 2005. In plot 1 the farmer practiced sanitation by removing damaged fruits and weeds from the orchard. In the plots 2 and 3 no sanitation was practiced. Each plot was 1 ha in size. The parameters observed were density of adult male B. tau and climatic factors (rainfall per day, number of rainy days, and average day temperature). Empty mineral water bottle traps were used to catch adult males of B. tau. Each plot had 16 traps set up with cue lure as fruit fly attractant. Each trap was baited with 3 ml cue lure on a cotton wick (1 cm diameter). The cotton wick was rebaited at 2-week intervals. The traps were placed on host plants about 1.5 m above the ground. Trapped flies were collected every two weeks and counted. The data were analyzed by correlation analysis. The results revealed that the number of male B. tau in three orchards showed a similar fluctuation during the study period with a major peak in July. The lower numbers of flies captured in plot 1 (with sanitation) compared to the two other plots (without sanitation) were consistent with a lower percentage of damaged fruits in the plot 1 compared to the other two. The percentage of damaged fruits gradually decreased over time to about 20% in plot 1 which is lower than that in the other two plots (30-40%). The number of fruit flies captured with cue lure baited traps correlated positively with all three abiotic factors studied. The seasonal fluctuation of the fruit fly population and the damage to the fruits are necessary to be studied as a procedure in IPM for controlling B. tau.

“…However, Min-U-Gel and other thickened formulations when weathered in habitats with warm temperatures and high rainfall are not long-lived (Cunningham et al 1975a,b;Cunningham and Suda 1985), often lasting Ͻ2 wk (Vargas et al 2000). Cotton wicks are considered one of the best dispensers for methyl eugenol (Qureshi et al 1992). Bucket traps with cotton wicks have been researched and developed by Cunningham and Suda (1986) and Vargas et al (2000) for B. dorsalis and B. cucurbitae control.…”

Spinosad was evaluated in Hawaii as a replacement for organophosphate insecticides (naled, dichlorvos [DDVP], and malathion) in methyl eugenol and cue-lure bucket traps to attract and kill oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel, and melon fly, B. cucurbitae Coquillett, respectively. In the first and second methyl eugenol trials with B. dorsalis, naled was in the highest rated group for all evaluation periods (at 5, 10, 15, and 20 wk). Spinosad was equal to naled at 5 and 10 wk during both trials 1 and 2, and compared favorably with malathion during trial 2. During the first cue-lure trial with B. cucurbitae, naled and malathion were in the top rated group at 5, 10, 15, and 20 wk. Spinosad was equal to naled at 5 wk. During the second cue-lure trial, spinosad and naled were both in the top rated group at 10, 15, and 20 wk. Use of male lure traps with methyl eugenol or cue-lure had no effect on attraction of females into test areas. Our results suggest that spinosad, although not as persistent as naled or malathion, is safer to handle and a more environmentally friendly substitute for organophosphate insecticides in methyl eugenol and cue-lure traps for use in B. dorsalis and B. cucurbitae areawide integrated pest management programs in Hawaii.
