Abstract

Peach fruit fly (PFF), Bactrocera zonata (Saunders), is a polyphagous insect pest that damages plant species including various fruits and vegetables, which range widely from tropical to temperate zones that causes large losses to orchards. Six fruit extracts (guava, mango, banana, melon, orange and Apricot)5, 10, 25% and five oils(Anise, Clove, Cinnamon, Camphor, and flaxseed) 5, 10, 25% concentrations contained natural odour plant materials were evaluated against the adults of Peach fruit flies using simple olfactometer under laboratory condition. Guava and mango was highest to attracted adult of B. zonataat 5% and 10% concentration while, banana best at 25% concentration (21.41%). But cloves at 5 % concentration were higher attracted to the adult(17.03%)whilst the anise was higher attraction to adults at 10, 25% concentrations was (18.52%) , (6.47%) respectively .The attractibility adults in the 5th day were high. No adult attracted to camphor and flaxseed oils. Although, Mixed Fas Tac 5% EC 4ml/L water with Guava 10% and Banana 25 % increase General Mean % mortality but decrease General Mean% attracted adult of B. zonata.
