This study was conducted to determine the most effective traps for capturing Tropinota hirta (Poda) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) being an economical pest on the flowers of apple trees in Sultandağı county of Afyonkarahisar province in 2010. Blue plastic traps of in the same color (Sticky plate trap, funnel plus water and large bowl plus water) and also an attractant containing cinnamyl alcohol and trans-anethol, as a commercial preparation were used in the present study. Four different selected sites were investigated to find the most attractive traps for the mentioned pest. The highest number of captives was achieved in the first (43.60% of total) and third (33.13% of total) location sites. They were found in the locations second and the fourth as 14.53% and 8.72%, respectively. Most of the adults were captured by the blue funnel plus water traps with the attractants. We assume that the number of apple blossom beetles captured in apple orchards depends upon the age of the trees and whether they are near uncultivated or grain growing areas. In conclusion, we propose that the use of a blue funnel in a cup containing water, and also with an attractant, is an effective biotechnical method for controll ing pest existing on apple trees when chemicals cannot be applied during the blooming period.Keywords: Apple, attractant, funnel, trap, Tropinota hirta Afyonkarahisar Ġlinde Bakla Zınnığının, Tropinota hirta (Poda) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), DeğiĢik Tuzaklarla Yakalanması Özet: Bu çalıĢma 2010 yılında Afyonkarahisar ili Sultandağı ilçesinde elma ağaçlarının çiçeklerinde ekonomik zarara neden olan bakla zınnığını, Tropinota hirta (Poda) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) yakalamada en etkili tuzak çeĢidini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüĢtür. ÇalıĢmada aynı renkte mavi plastik (Huni, leğen ve kanatlı yapıĢkan) tuzaklar ile birlikte içeriğinde cinnamyl alkol ve trans-anethol içeren, çekici etkili ticari preparat kullanılmıĢtır. ÇalıĢma dört farklı elma bahçesinde yürütülmüĢtür. En yüksek sayıda ergin, 1. (% 43.60) ve 3. (% 33.13) bahçelerde yakalanmıĢtır. 2. ve 4. bahçede ise % 14.53 ve % 8.72 olmuĢtur. Erginlerin çoğu altında su bidonu ve üzerinde çekici bulunan mavi renkli hunilerle yakalanmıĢtır. Sonuç olarak en fazla erginin, genç yaĢtaki ağaçların bulunduğu veya etrafında mera ve sürülmemiĢ arazi bulunan bahçelerdeki tuzaklarda yakalandığı düĢünülmektedir. Sonuç olarak çalıĢmada elma bahçelerinde çekicilerle birlikte kullanılan altında su bulunan mavi renkli hunilerin, ilaçlamaların yapıla madığı ağaçların çiçeklenme döneminde zarar yapan bu türün erginlerini kontrol altında tutmada etkili bir biyoteknik yöntem olduğunu söylenebilir.
