| Abstract | ||
| Evaluation of different attractants for attracting the adults of Mediterranean fruit fly (MFF), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) and Peach fruit fly (PFF), Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) were carried out through two experiments during the two seasons, 2002/2003 and 2003/2004. In the 1stseason (2002/2003), the mean capture per trap per day "CTD" for MFF adults were 0.17, 0.19, 0.05 and 0.04 fly, and the "CTD" for PFF adults were 0.14, 0.08, 0.05 and 0.06 fly for Buminal 5 %, Buminal 10 %, Di-ammonium phosphate 3 % and Bactrogel 1.3 %, respectively. In the 2ndseason (2003/2004), the "CTD" for MFF adults were 0.04,0.05,0.09,0.05 and 0.06 fly, and the "CTD" for PFF adults were 0.94,0.40,0.72,0.22 and 0.40 fly for Buminal 2.5 %, Buminal 5 %, Buminal 10 %, Di-ammonium phospho 2 %, and Di-ammonium phospho 3 %, respectively. All the attractants attracted females more than males for MFF adults during the two seasons. For PFF adults, Buminal 5 % only attracted females more than males during the 1st season, while during the 2nd season, all the attractants attracted males more than females. | ||
