Preliminary Study on the Trapping Effect of Three Kinds of Tephritidae Food Attractants on Different Tephritidae
In order to explore the efficient green prevention and control methods for Tephritidae,three kinds of common food attractants for Tephritidae on the market were selected,which were Tephritidae bait spindle(food attractant 1),the sugar-vinegar liquid(sugar:vinegar:wine:water=5:3:2:10)(food attractant 2),and Tephritidae concentrated bait(food attractant 3).The trapping effects of different species of Tephritidae were tested in the watermelon and luffa planting bases,thus to evaluate their trapping effects on three common species of Tephritidae.The results showed that the three kinds of food attractants for Tephritidae had attractive effects on Bactrocera cucurbitae,Bactrocera minax and Bactrocera dorsalis.However,the trapping effect of the food attractant 3 on the three kinds of Tephritidae was the best.The total number of three kinds of Tephritidae trapped by the food attractant 3 was 2.93 times higher than that by the food attractant 1 and 9.50 times higher than that by the food attractant 2.The trapping amount of female adults by the food attractant 3 and the food attractant 1 was higher than that of male adults.The study screened a food attractant insecticide that had a significant attractive effect on female and male adults,especially on female adults,which met the production needs of fruit growers.
