مقایسه کارایی جلب کننده‌های غذایی به روش تله گذاری در کنترل مگس میوه مدیترانه ای Ceratitis capitata در جنوب کرمان

Mediterranean fruit fly or Med fly (Ceratitis capitata (is considered as one of the most harmful pests on all kinds of fruit trees. Also this insect is the most destructive species of the Tephritidae family of fruit flies in world. In the present study, the efficiency of two attractants, domestic production and foreign samples were compared using the trapping method in Mediterranean fruit fly control. The factorial experiment was conducted in the form of a randomized complete block design in 3 replications. Factor A included three traps (McPhail, Seratrap and plastic bottle) and Factor B: two types of attractants, domestic production and Ceratinex (foreign product). The effects of the treatments were evaluated by counting trapped adults and the statistical comparison of the hunted insects for two sex (female and male). Results showed that the McPhail trap containing Ceratinex was the most effective treatment with 52.48 and 62.83 male and female in one trap respectively. The bottle trap containing Ceratinex with the average of 37.96 and 43.23 male and female in a trap respectively was next grade. On the other, McPhail trap with domestic attractant recorded 27.1 and 23.06 male and female in a trap, respectively. The lowest trapped adults was determined in the Ceratrap containing the domestic attractant with 12.84 and 15.24 male and female in each trap, respectively. Overall, this study showed that the efficiency of McPhail trap containing Ceratinex has been higher than the other traps and attractant. Therefore, in Mediterranean fruit fly management programs, the use of this type of trap and attractant is recommended.
