Abstract:
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.
