Abstract
Field evaluation of some attractants (bominal and local attractants) to attract the adult of the Mediterranea fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata were carried out through four experiments at Kalubia Governorate during the two successive seasons; 1995 and 1996. Fresh bominal was superior for attracting medfly adult at 5%, 10% and 1 5% concentrations in the four experiments, followed by local attractant (No. 2) at the same concentrations during three experiments. At 20% concentration, local attractant (No. 2) hold the first place in two experiments and the second place in the two other experiments. Attractant efficacy of fresh bominal decreased sharply when its storage reached 1-5 years, where the mean percentages of reduction in fresh bominal efficacy ranged between 45.29%-88.99%. Attractant efficacy for local attractants decreased also, when its storage reached six months.
