Abstract: (105 Views) |
The Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) is known as one of the most destructive pests worldwide due to its Polyphagous and high invasive ability.in this research, it was tried to determine the correct time of spraying with the data obtained from traps and population fluctuations in different orchards, so, the highest efficiency can be obtained with the least number of spraying applications. In this research, two experiments were conducted simultaneously during two years. In the first experiment, the effectiveness of the bottle and Macfil traps along with attractants such as protein hydrolysate, Caratinex® and sex parapheromone Trimedlure® were investigated in attracting of Mediterranean fruit fly and the second experiment was the efficiency of pesticides malathion and deltamethrin alone or together with protein hydrolyzate in controlling of this pest was investigated. The experimental design was implemented in the form of a randomized complete block. The results of this study show that Macfil traps with sex parapheromone Trimedlure® attractant were more efficient than other traps and attractants. The study of the pest population fluctuations on fig orchard shows six population peaks. The study of population fluctuations on Japanese tangerines, persimmons and Jaffa oranges revealed that there are three peaks for this pest that overlap with each other. The results showed that the combination of insecticide + protein hydrolysate has a higher performance. Also, deltamethrin+protein hydrolysate has the highest percentage of efficiency fourteen days after spraying. Therefore, it can be concluded that regular monitoring of orchards using Macfil traps with sex parapheromone Trimedlure® adsorbent in order to determine the time of foliar spraying is the first stage of management of this pest and in the next step, foliar spraying with deltamethrin+protein hydrolysate will greatly reduce the population of this pest in infected orchards.
