Abstract

Evaluation of some different attractants for attracting adults of Mediterranean fruit fly (MFF), Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) and Peach fruit fly (PFF), Bactrocera zonata (Saund.) was carried out through tw Ouring the first experiment, all the attractants attracted PFF adults only, and Di-ammonium phosphate 3 % was the superior followed by Buminal 5 %, Bactrogel 1.3 % and Buminal 10 %.During the second experiment, all the attractants attracted both flies (MFF & PFF), but the capture of MFF adults were very low compared to the capture of PFF adults. Buminal 2.5 % and 10 % was the superior for attracting MFF adults, followed by Di-ammonium phosphate 2 %, Di-ammonium phosphate 3 % and Buminal 5 %. For attracting PFF adults, Di-ammonium phosphate 2 % was the superior, followed by Di-ammonium phosphate 3 %, Buminal 2.5 %. Buminal 5 % and Buminal 10 %.
