Abstract
This experiment was carried out in navel
orange orchards under field conditions at Kafer - El sheikh and Ismailia governorates in Egypt, to evaluate the
efficiency of the food - based traps baited with ammonium acetate at three
different concentrations,1 % 2% and 3 %
and buminal at a concentration 5%
for attracting the peach fruit fly B. zonata adults and comparing
it with their efficiency after adding to
them , yellow color and vanilla essence .The results cleared that, at
both governorates efficiency of different concentrations of A. acetate with
buminal traps to attract B. zonata fly was varied at different times of inspection and the
efficiency of all studied treatments was increased after addition
of yellow color and vanilla essence. Mean attraction of B. zonata
females was more obviously higher than that of males with all treatments.
The study proved also that the highest mean of attraction of females was
recorded with treatments including vanilla essence, while the highest mean of
attraction of males was recorded by treatments including yellow color. At Kafer
- El-Shiekh governorate the highest mean of attraction for B. zonata fly
was recorded after 12days of inspection, on the other hand at Ismailia
governorate the highest attraction was achieved after 8 days of inspection.
Addition of yellow food color and vanilla essence to A. acetate with buminal
traps improved their efficiency of attraction to both females and males of the
peach fruit fly and this result may be a very important point in the integrated
control of this dangerous pest.
