Abstract:

To effectively trap and control fruit flies in Cucurbitaceae vegetable fields, four kinds of fruit fly attractants produced by different manufacturers, as well as two types of traps with either black cover or yellow cover, were compared for the field trapping effects in the Luffa acutangula field. The results showed that all four attractants, YG (Yinger), NL (Ninglu), NK (Niukang), and HZ (Hangzhou Xinxi), trapped two morphological forms of fruit flies, all of which were male individuals. Through morphological and molecular biological identification, these two fruit flies were identified as Bactrocera tau and Bactrocera scutellata. YG had the highest number of trapped fruit flies, followed by NL and NK, while HZ had the fewest. In comparison with different traps, traps with black covers were more attractive to fruit flies than those with yellow covers. This study is helpful for designing the field control strategy and population forecasting of fruit flies.
