Abstract
Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficiency of Makkar and El-Abbassi plastic trap loaded with four attractant sachets against the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wied). Trials were carried out in two different locations, at El-Santa, Gharbia Governorate within the period from November 24th 2015 till January 17th 2016, and at Aga, Dakahlia Governorate within the period from February 29th 2016 till April 26th 2016. The two locations were cultivated with citrus tress. Results revealed that, Makkar and El-Abbassi trap loaded with sachets mounted with the three component lures (Ammonium acetate + Putrescine + Trimethylamine) ), treatment (D) captured more flies where compared with the other treatments throughout the period of experiment (16 weeks), meanwhile, the lowest cumulated number of captured flies was in traps baited with treatment (A), (Ammonium acetate). Treatment (C) (Ammonium acetate + Diammonium phosphate + Trimethylamine) captured reasonable high number of flies when compared with the other treatments (A and B). Data showed also that the highest percentages of captured females throughout four periods were in treatment (D) (92.2 %). Statistical analysis showed non significant differences between treatment (D) and treatment (C). Results obtained from this study revealed that C. capitata could be controlled by applying mass trapping technique, treatment (D) a better option for mass trapping.
