“…Yellow traps have been used to monitor P. pyricola populations by Kaloostian & Yeomans (1944), Wilde (1962), Adams etal. (1983) and Adams & Los (1989) and also the flight phenol-ogy ofPholetesor originis (Ridgway & Mahr, 1986). This study showed that there was no difference in the preference for yellow by either sex.…”

“…A considerable number of other insect species also have been reported to be attracted to yellow. These include Psylla pyricola (Wilde, 1962;Adams & Los, 1989), as well as other homopterans (Kennedy et al, 1961). The variety of other herbivorous insects known to respond positively to yellow include, for example, the greenhouse white fly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Coombe, 1981); asparagus miner, Ophiomyia simplex (Ferro & Sychak, 1980); the fruit fly, Anasterepha suspensa (Greany etal., 1977) and others.…”

Field tests on attraction of Ctenarytaina thysanura (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) adults to different coloured 30 × 30 cm sticky traps revealed a preference for yellow. Among the enamel colours tested, more psyllids were captured on yellow traps followed by green, then blue and least on red, cyan and magenta. Dilution of yellow enamel with 50% white (1Y:1W) and 75% white (1Y:3W) to produce yellow‐white hues resulted in a significant decrease in psyllid capture indicating that the psyllids response to yellow was one of positive attraction and could suggest true colour discrimination. Reflectance spectra of painted surfaces of the enamel colours and also yellow to white hues indicated that psyllid capture rates were directly related to the proportion of light reflected in the 500–560 nm region. The biological basis of the observed C. thysanura response may be that yellow is the most intensely reflective colour in the general part of the spectrum for leaves which reflect most light in the 500–600 nm (peak 550 nm) range.

“…Moreover, height of 7.2 m and the southern position of citrus trees was a convenient location for tracking citrus thrips, Scirtothrips citri (Moulton, 1909) (Beavers et al, 1971). Whereas, in pear orchards, installation of the traps at a height of 1.2 -1.8 m of south side of the trees had more correlation with infestation of trees with egg and nymph of pear psylla, Psylla pyricola (Foerster, 1848) (Adams & Los, 1989). The investigation conducted by Seyedoleslami et al (2003) on Pistachio psylla, Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt and Lauterer, 1989 revealed a significant difference for different directions in trapping adult insects and egg density.…”

Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) (Dip.: Tephritidae) is one of the most destructive agricultural pests in the world. To replace chemical control methods, as well as the timing of the peak population of Mediterranean fruit fly, the yellow sticky vertical traps were used in this study. The research was carried out in some citrus orchards of various cities of Mazandaran province of Iran, during the four months from August to November 2016. To determine the best type of yellow color to trap this fly, four types of yellow colors with measured wavelength of reflection, including the fluorescent yellow (538 nm), lemon yellow (574 nm), yellow (602 nm) and amber yellow (641 nm), were used. Also, to determine the best geographical direction and appropriate height for installation of yellow cards, four cardinal directions and five different heights of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 m above ground level were determined and the cards were installed. The results of mean comparison of captured flies in different treatments showed that there are significant differences between all of them. The results indicated that the fluorescent yellow, heights of 1.5 and 2 m, the south direction, and month October had the highest number of capture in yellow cards.Key words: Mediterranean fruit fly; yellow sticky trap; mass trapping; citrus; Iran IZVLEČEK VPLIV NEBESNE LEGE, VIŠINE NAMESTITVE IN BARVE RUMENIH PASTI NA ULOV BRESKOVE MUHE (Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824)) V SADOVNJAKIH CITRUSOVBreskova muha (Ceratitis capitata [Wiedemann, 1824], (Dip.: Tephritidae)) je eden od najpomembnejših škodljivcev gojenih rastlin v svetu. Za nadomestitev kemičnega zatiranja in za ugotavljanje viška populacij breskove muhe so bile v tej raziskavi uporabljene navpično nameščene rumene, lepljive pasti. Raziskava je potekala v izbranih sadovnjakih citrusov v različnih krajih province Mazandaran v Iranu, v času štirih mesecev, od avgusta do novembra leta 2016. Za določitev najustreznejše rumene barve pasti za lovljenje muh so bili izbrani 4 odtenki rumene barve, vključujoč fluorescentno rumeno z naslednjimi valovnimi dolžinami odbite svetlobe: fluorescentno rumena (538 nm), limonino rumena (574 nm), rumena (602 nm) in rjavo (smolnato)-rumena (641 nm). Za določitev najustreznejše nebesne smeri in višine namestitve rumenih plošč so bile izbrane štiri glavne nebesne smeri in pet različnih višin namestitev nad tlemi, in sicer 1, 1,5, 2, 2,5 in 3 m. Izsledki primerjav povprečij ulovljenih muh glede na različne namestitve pasti so pokazali, da so med njimi značilne razlike. Izsledki so pokazali, da se je ujelo največ muh v oktobru na fluorescentno rumene plošče, nameščene od 1,5 in 2 m nad tlemi, v južni legi.

“…Yellow therefore acts as a supernormal stimulus for foliage to many phytophagous insects because it elicits a greater alighting response than colours more closely resembling preferred hosts (Prokopy and Owens 1983). In studies on colour response of aphids, Mooney and Gulmon (1 982) noted that increased responsiveness to yellow aids some aphids in finding young, expanding leaves that are high in Per cent total reflected light emitted in 500-600 nm region Adams and Los 1989) and yellow sticky traps have been used to monitor flight activity and populations of hemipterans (Todd et al 1990;Meyerdirk and Moreno 1984;Summy et al 1986;Adams et al 1983;Meyerdirk and Oldfield 1985;Ridgway and Mahr 1986;Adams and Los 1989;Mensah and Madden 1992).

“…This is important because plants are primarily composed of carbohydrates and the amount of nitrogen is usually limited and unequally distributed (McNeill and Southwood 1973) so that an adaptation to locate preferred food plants and feeding sites will enhance the success of the species. Several studies have indicated that many insects are attracted to yellow (Coombe 1981;Meyerdirk and Oldfield 1985;Zehnder and Speese 1987; Adams and Los 1989) and yellow sticky traps have been used to monitor flight activity and populations of hemipterans (Todd et al 1990;Meyerdirk and Moreno 1984;Summy et al 1986;Adams et al 1983;Meyerdirk and Oldfield 1985;Ridgway and Mahr 1986;Adams and Los 1989;Mensah and Madden 1992).…”

Field tests on the colour response of Austroasca viridigrisea adults were conducted using square (30 x 30 cm) coloured sticky traps placed in a cotton field. Among the colours tested, adults were attracted most to yellow traps emitting light in the 500-600 nm region (peak reflectance at 560 nm), followed by green and orange, then red, deep blue, black, magenta and true blue. Dilution of yellow with white to produce yellow-white hues resulted in a significant decline in A . viridigrisea captures. Reflectance spectra of painted surfaces of enamel colours and also traps with different hues of yellow indicated that A . viridigrisea capture rates were directly related to the amount of light reflected in the 500-600 nm zone, the wavelength at which peak reflectance of green plants occurs. This positive behavioural response of A . viridigrisea to yellow suggests that the leafhopper can discriminate foliage-like hues (500-580 nm) from non foliage-like hues (< 500 nm and > 580 nm) and therefore could detect herbaceous foliage on the basis of colour. Significantly higher numbers of adults were caught at heights between 25-75 cm than at 100, 125 and 150 cm above ground level. To monitor flight phenology and populations of A . viridigrisea, yellow sticky traps should be placed at heights between 25 and 75 cm above ground level.
