Trabzon hurması meyvelerinde Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) yakalaması için gıda bazlı sentetik cezbedicilerin karşılaştırılması

Abstract

The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is an important pest on persimmon fruits in Turkey. The study was conducted in 2016-2018 to determine comparison of food-based synthetic attractants for capture of Ceratitis capitata on persimmon fruits in Dörtyol and Antakya districts of Hatay province. The Decis and Maxitrap traps baited with various attractants impregnated in paper handkerchief dispensers were used. As a result of two years of investigations, efficacy of various attractants varied in each of the sampling year. In 2016, the highest mean of C. capitata were observed by the combination of ammonium acetate + ammonium carbonate attractant traps, while the lowest mean of C. capitata was observed by a single of ammonium carbonate attractant traps. In 2018, the highest mean of C. capitata were observed by a single of ammonium carbonate and ammonium bicarbonate attractant traps, while the lowest mean of C. capitata was observed by the combination of ammonium acetate + trimethylamine + putrescine and ammonium acetate + trimethylamine + cadaverine attractant traps.
