Abstract

In the present study two experimental trails were carried out to evaluate the efficacy of the food attractant (Buminal 5%) mixture with Dimethoate 40% E.C for controlling the fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) on mango orchard at Ismailia Governorate, Egypt during 2009 and 2010 by food attractant traps (traps baited) and partial spray for trees trunk in the experimental trails. Results showed that the mean reductions percentages by using Henderson and Tilton (1955) formula for both periods were 55.1 & 64.7 & 72.5 & 90.4 and 63.5&71.8& 73.1 & 82.5 respectively. Mean percentage of reductions during the same periods 2009 and 2010 were 70.7 and 72.7 %, respectively. Regarding the second experiment data showed that the total number of percent reduction for both years 2009 and 2010 were 56.5 & 71.0&80.6 & 78.3 and 60.9 & 64.0& 69.8 & 89.8% respectively, the mean percent of reduction were 71.6% and 71.1%, respectively.
              The statistically analysis L.S.D.0.05 (P ˂0.05) showed that a positive significant and  highly significant correlation for traps baited which values were 10.16 and 15.57 during the same periods. Also, a positive highly significant effect for partial spray were 9.06 and 11.22 during 2009 and 2010, respectively
