| Abstract | ||
| Evaluation of different attractants for adults of the Mediterranean fruit fly (MFF), Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) and Peach fruit fly (PFF), Baettoc-era zonata (Saund.) was carried out at three locations (orchards) in Sinuris & Ibshaway, Fayoum Governorate through an experiment during May-June, 2003. The mean capture per trap per day "CTD" for MFF adults were 0.20, 0.31, 0.54, 0.58 and 0.83 fly for Buminal 2.5 %, Buminal 5 %, Buminal 10 %, Di-ammonium phosphate 2 % and Di-ammonium phosphate 3 %, respectively. For PFF adults, "CID" were 1.87 flies for Buminal 2.5 %, 2.23 flies for Buminal 5 %, 2.82 flies for Buminal 10 0/0, 6.78 flies for Di-ammonium phosphate 2 % and 5.34 flies for Di-ammonium phosphate 3 %. Di-ammonium phosphate concentrations were more attractant for males and females of MFF & PFF adults than Buminal concentrations. All the attractants attracted PFF adults more than MFF adults, also, all the attractants attracted females more than males for MFF and PFF adults. | ||
