“…In these Þeld tests, grape juice was 2ϫ more attractive than Biolures (Suterra LLC, Bend, OR) to feral male and female ßies. Considering that Biolures have been demonstrated more attractive than torula yeast and other standard lures to many species of fruit ßies (Epsky et al 1999, Thomas et al 2001, Holler et al 2006, Martinez et al 2007, these results indicate the great potential of grape juice as the source of an attractant for fruit ßies. Massa et al (2008) studied another Concord grape product, Frutibases grape juice concentrate (Frutibases S. A. de C. V., Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico), that also had been demonstrated highly attractive to Mexican fruit ßies in preliminary Þeld testing in Mex-ico.…”

An attractant for Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha ludens (Loew) (Diptera: Tephritidae), was developed from a commercial product called Sabor Uva containing processed Concord grape juice. The principal volatile components of Sabor Uva aroma were identified and an aqueous mixture of 15 components that was gas chromatographically similar to Sabor Uva was prepared. This mixture was equivalent to Sabor Uva in attractiveness by using wind-tunnel bioassays. After deleting chemicals that did not contribute to attractiveness, and increasing the concentrations of the remaining chemicals, the final attractant contained propylene glycol (90,000 ppm, vol/vol), acetic acid (4500), methyl anthranilate (1800), ethyl 2-methylpropionate (670), and one or both of the esters ethyl 3-methylbutyrate (44) and 2-methylbutyl propionate (44), in aqueous solution. This mixture was approximately 1.8X as attractive as Sabor Uva by indirect comparison. Deletion of propylene glycol, acetic acid, methyl anthranilate, or ethyl 2-methylpropionate from the mixture significantly decreased attractiveness. Deletion of either of the other two esters seemed to diminish attractiveness although effects were not statistically significant. Deletion of water from the mixture significantly decreased attractiveness. We conclude that propylene glycol, acetic acid, methyl anthranilate, water, and at least one or as many as all three of the methyl-branched esters are essential for complete attractiveness.

“…ammonium bicarbonate, methylamine, and putrescine (Robacker and WarÞeld 1993); and ammonium carbonate, methylamine, and putrescine (Robacker 1999). The commercial two-component lure containing ammonium acetate and putrescine (BioLure; Suterra, Bend, OR) has been shown to be equal to or better than aqueous torula yeast/borax for capture of A. suspensa in Florida (Thomas et al 2001, Hall et al 2005, Holler et al 2006 but less effective in tests conducted in Puerto Rico (Pingel et al 2006). Capture of other Anastrepha species with synthetic lures versus liquid protein baits has been variable as well , Thomas et al 2008.…”

At present, the most effective synthetic lures for pest Anastrepha fruit flies are multicomponent blends that include ammonia and the diamine synergist putrescine (1,4-diaminobutane). Both chemicals generally have been regarded as protein cues that result in female-biased attraction. Using electroantennography (EAG) and flight tunnel bioassays, this study evaluated response of the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) to vapors released from commercial lure formulations of ammonium bicarbonate and putrescine. Over a range of doses tested, EAG response to ammonium bicarbonate was equivalent for both sexes, but female response was significantly greater than male response to putrescine and to a 1:1 mixture of ammonium bicarbonate and putrescine. Amplitude of EAG response to the mixture was approximately equal to the summation of responses to the individual substrates. Using a fixed dose of substrate, EAG measurements from females 1-14 d old indicated that antennal sensitivity to both lures varied according to physiological state of the fly. Peak response to ammonium bicarbonate was recorded from immature females, peak response to putrescine from sexually mature females. In bioassays, more females were captured with ammonium bicarbonate plus putrescine than with ammonium bicarbonate alone. This difference was not observed in males, resulting in a higher female to male ratio in captures with ammonium bicarbonate plus putreseine (3:1) versus ammonium bicarbonate alone (1:1). Results suggest that separate olfactory receptors are involved in detection of the two semiochemicals, and that the putrescine component is primarily responsible for the female-biased attraction.

“…For SIT area-wide integrated pest management (IPM) programs, it is necessary to estimate the wild population density in order to determine the sterile flies release density and achieve the optimal sterile-to-wild ratio to induce the required level of sterility into a wild population (Lance & Gates, 1994;Shelly et al, 2010;Flores et al, 2014). Holler et al (2006) and Lasa & Cruz (2014) indicate that changing climatic conditions may influence the effectiveness of trapping systems.

We aimed to estimate population densities of Anastrepha obliqua (McQuart) (Diptera: Tephritidae) from trap data by releasing known numbers of sterile adults into mango orchards, and to determine sterility induction through the use of different sterile-to-wild ratios in field cages. Population densities were monitored with Multilure traps baited with hydrolysed protein (Captor 300) or BioLure during dry and rainy seasons. There was a positive relationship between the release density of sterile flies and the number of flies trapped per day (FTD index) for both attractants and in both seasons. Captor was the most effective lure. Traps baited with either attractant captured significantly fewer adult flies in the dry season than in the rainy season. A 10:1 sterile:wild ratio induced around 80% sterility in A. obliqua cohorts. No significant differences were observed when comparing the release of both males and females vs. only males. These findings can support area-wide integrated pest management programs for application of the sterile insect technique to suppress or eradicate this fruit fly pest.
