Tephritidae), to Synthetic Food-Odor Lures and Extent the Effect of pH on Attracting
the Fly]]>El-GendyIsmail Ragab32013103The Peach Fruit Fly (PFF), Bactrocera zonata is one of the most destructive
insect-pest of horticulture in Egypt. Occurrence adults of PFF in the field
must be monitored to apply the action plan management of this pest. This study
was conducted under field conditions to evaluate the response of PFF adults
to some synthetic food-odor lures; Ammonium Acetate (AA), Ammonium Carbonate
(AC), Ammonium Di-hydrogen orthophosphate (AD), Di-ammonium hydrogen-orthophosphate
(DA) and a mixture of AD and borax. As well as, determining the role of pH degree
of the synthetic food-odor lures on attracting of PFF adults. Results indicated
that AA was the highest potential attractants in attraction adults of PFF. The
borax mixed with AD enhanced the AD attraction potential for PFF compared to
attraction of AD alone. The mean number of captured flies of PFF was inversely
to tested time, i.e., 0.23±0.02 and 0.16±0.03 capture flies/trap/day
in the first and second tested weeks. The overall mean numbers captured flies
of PFF was directly proportional to the pH degree (r = 0.25**). So, the obtained
results showed clearly that the PFF is attracted to the synthetic food-odor
lures moderate pH degree or light alkaline.]]>Bateman, M.A. and T.C. Mdortan,198132883903Draz, K.A.A., A.G. Hashem, M.A. El-Aw and I.R.
