Performance and selectivity of floral attractant-baited traps targeted for cetoniin scarabs (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in Central and Southern Europe

The Capturing of the Apple Blossom Beetle, Tropinota hirta (Poda) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), by Different Traps in Afyonkarahisar

“…The funnel + attractant trap captured the most beetles in location 4 and as a result, it was observed that the funnel trap is a more effective than the others. Vuts et al (2010) expressed that T. hirta was generally captured by CA-baited traps in a ratio from 100% to 54%.…”

Field catches of Oxythyrea cinctella using visual and olfactory cues

“…These tests were performed to study the importance of different colours and floral compounds on catches of O. cinctella to compare data directly with the closely‐related O. funesta . The same experimental arrangement was used as described by Vuts et al (2010b), testing only combinations of colour and floral volatile compounds that had previously been suitable for O. funesta . Trials 1 and 2 were set up in Turkey at Isparta and Van, respectively, in 2008.…”

“…Vuts et al (2010b) report on a study from 2008, comprising season‐long field trials, ranging from the Apennine peninsula through Central Europe to the east of the Balkans, comprehensively investigating the visual and olfactory stimuli‐mediated behaviour of the scarabs Epicometis hirta , Cetonia aurata aurata , Potosia cuprea and Oxythyrea funesta , using light blue traps (Fig. 1) and releasing either a two‐component blend of ( E )‐anethol and ( E )‐cinnamyl alcohol originally developed for the capture of E. hirta , or a four‐component blend, comprising ( E )‐anethol, 3‐methyl eugenol, 1‐phenylethanol and (±)‐lavandulol, developed for C. aurata aurata/P.…”

“…Several members in the genera Epicometis, Cetonia, Potosia and Oxythyrea also feed on buds and flowers of beneficial plants (Hurpin, 1962), which makes them a focus of research on pest control. Vuts et al (2010b) report on a study from 2008, comprising season-long field trials, ranging from the Apennine peninsula through Central Europe to the east of the Balkans, comprehensively investigating the visual and olfactory stimuli-mediated behaviour of the scarabs Epicometis hirta, Cetonia aurata aurata, Potosia cuprea and Oxythyrea funesta, using light blue traps ( Fig. 1) and releasing either a two-component blend of (E)-anethol and (E)-cinnamyl alcohol originally developed for the capture of E. hirta, or a four-component blend, Correspondence: József Vuts, Rothamsted Research, Harpenden, Hertfordshire AL5 2JQ, U.K.…”

İki şeftali çeşidinde mavi leğen tuzaklarla yakalanan Tropinota hirta (Poda, 1761) (Coleoptera: cetoniidae) ergin sayısının karşılaştırılması

“…Erken ilkbaharda meyve ağaçlarının çiçeklenme döneminde bal arıları ve diğer tozlayıcı böcek türlerinin bahçelerde yoğunlaşması nedeniyle, bu türlere vereceği zarardan dolayı T. hirta erginlerine karşı kimyasal mücadele önerilmemektedir. Bunun yerine cezbedicilerle renk tuzakların kullanımına öncelik verilmektedir (Vuts et al, 2010 b). Farklı meyve türlerinde çiçeklenme öncesi ve sonrası dönemlerde T. hirta erginlerini yakalamada kullanılan renk tuzakların etkinliğinin değiştiği tespit edilmiştir (Aydın, 2011).…”
