Abstract | ||||
Standard trimedlure (TML) loaded on cotton wicks was compared with two other TML dispensers as attractants for the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) in Jackson sticky traps. The three tested formulations differed in their efficacy and persistence under field conditions through the course of the experiment. Host plant plays a very important role in directing and attracting medfly irrespective to the type of TML formulation Trap direction and its interaction with TML formulations had no effect on the attractancy of medfly. | ||||
