Abstract

Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly), Ceratitis capitata Wied is one of the most destructive pest of fruit trees in Iran and worldwide. Comparison of different traps and Medfly attractants was tested in a randomized complete block design with 11 treatments (1. Tephri trap baited with Cera trap liquid, 2. Mcphil trap baited with Cera trap liquid, 3. Tephri trap baited with Trimedlure (EXC453), 4. Mcphil trap baited with Trimedlure (EXC453), 5. Tephri trap baited with Indian hydrolyzed protein + Malathion, 6. Tephri trap baited with Iranian hydrolyzed protein + Malathion, 7. Plastic bottle trap baited with Indian hydrolyzed protein + Malathion, 8. Plastic bottle trap baited with Iranian hydrolyzed protein + Malathion, 9. Plastic bottle trap baited with Cera trap liquid, 10. Yellow sticky trap and 11. Jackson trap baited with Trimedlure (TM020A); and 3 replications, in citrus and persimmon fruit orchards of Sari, Noor and Qaemshar in 2007 and 2008. The area of each orchard was about 2 ha. The number of trapped Medfly was recorded weekly for 8 weeks. Data analysis indicated a significant difference among treatments in 5% probability level. Grouping of the treatments based on LSD test revealed that Jackson trap baited with Trimedlure (TM020A) with the maximum mean number of captured male and Cera trap liquid baited in Tephri trap, with the maximum mean number of female were in highest class. The Indian and Iranian formulated hydrolyzed protein baited in plastic bottle traps with the minimum mean number of captured flies was placed in lowest class.
