| Abstract | ||
| The oriental. Vespa orienta/is Fab. represents a big threat to the apiaries and the mature fruits which necessitates t a it' s control. Some volatile, each a lone or mixed with paraffin oil. were tested under field conditions at two districts of Gharbia and Kaffr-Etshak Govemorats as lures for capturing the homet in the traps. The volatile; Citraneliol, Geraniol, Linalool and Para-Coryophyllene were tested. These volatile proved to be attractive to V. orienta/is but their attractiveness was greatly enhanced when mixed with paraffin oil. Results indicated that the most attractive lure was saturated sugar syrup mixed with paraffin oil, followed by only both saturated sugar syrup or paraffin oil since insignificantly difference between them. The trap catch was higher in August and September than in June and November. The population of the captured hornet was higher in 2003 than 2002. In a conclusion, using paraffin oil as lure for capturing the homet in the traps or it's mixed, with sugar syrup was recommended, in order to Vespa orienta/is Fab. control in the apiaries and fruit orchards. | ||
