“…Nonetheless, in no case during these extensive evaluations on Kauai and Hawaii Islands were captures of C. capitata with TMR dispensers less that those with the standard TML plug. In behavioral evaluations in coffee Þelds on Oahu Island where all three fruit ßy species also occurred, the TMR dispenser captured at least as many ßies as the liquid baits for all three species (Shelly et al 2012). Experiments also demonstrated that the presence of ME and RK had no negative effect on captures of C. capitata and TML also had no effect on the capture of B. cucurbitae or B. dorsalis.…”

In studies in Tahiti with B. dorsalis and B. tryoni (Froggatt) (Queensland fruit ßy), an C-L/RK responding ßy, traps baited with ME and RK combined in a single Mallet MC wafer captured as many B. tryoni and B. dorsalis as traps baited with a single liquid lure (Leblanc et al 2011).…”

“…The plugs and cones have the advantage of being deployed with or without an insecticide if placed in escape proof traps (Hiramoto et al 2006). Also, implementation of insecticidal strips (DDVP, Hercon Vaportape II, 10% dimethyl 2, 2-dichlorovinylphosphate, 2.5 by 10.0 cm, Emigsville, PA) in place of liquid organophosphates (e.g., naled or malathion) represented an important improvement from a worker acceptance and safety standpoint (Vargas et al 2009(Vargas et al , 2010aShelly 2010;Shelly et al 2011a,b). In addition, a solid double lure wafer with insecticide, Mallet MC (Farma Tech International, North Bend, WA) containing benzyl acetate, ME/RK, and DDVP was measured against individual ME and C-L/RK solid lure wafers and standard liquid ME and C-L with malathion formulations in Tahiti (Leblanc et al 2011) and Hawaii (R.I.V., unpublished data).…”

Solid Mallet TMR (trimedlure [TML], methyl eugenol [ME], raspberry ketone [RK]) wafers and Mallet CMR (ceralure, ME, RK, benzyl acetate) wafers impregnated with DDVP (2,2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate) insecticide were measured in traps as potential detection and male annihilation technique (MAT) devices. Comparisons were made with 1) liquid lure and insecticide formulations, 2) solid cones and plugs with an insecticidal strip, and 3) solid single and double lure wafers with DDVP for captures of Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann); oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel; and melon fly, B. cucurbitae Coquillett. Bucket and Jackson traps were tested in a coffee plantation near Eleele, Kauai Island, HI (trials at high populations) and avocado orchards near Kona, HI Island, HI (trials at low populations). Captures of all three species with Mallet TMR were not different from Mallet CMR; therefore, subsequent experiments did not include Mallet CMR because of higher production costs. In MAT trials near Eleele, HI captures in AWPM traps with Mallet TMR wafers were equal to any other solid lure (single or double) except the Mallet ME wafer. In survey trials near Kona, captures of C. capitata, B. cucurbitae, and B. dorsalis with Mallet TMR wafers were equal to those for the standard TML, ME, and C-L traps used in FL and CA. A solid Mallet TMR wafer is safer, more convenient to handle, and may be used in place of several individual lure and trap systems, potentially reducing costs of large survey and detection programs in Florida and California, and MAT programs in Hawaii.

“…Several other recent studies have been published that have also evaluated different solid formulations as potential replacements for the liquid-onwick formulation (Hiramoto et al 2006;Vargas et al 2009bVargas et al , 2010Shelly 2010;Shelly et al 2011). Although there were marked differences between the sources of the solid formulations, dosages applied to the formulations and locations of the tests (Hawaii and California), all tests supported the general tenant that the solid formulations could serve as a suitable replacement.…”

The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) is a major pest of many fruit crops worldwide. Current detection programs by federal and state agencies in the United States use a grid of traps consisting of liquid methyl eugenol (lure) and naled (toxicant) applied to cotton wicks and hung inside the trap. In recent years efforts have been made to incorporate these chemicals into various solid-type matrices that could be individually packaged to reduce human exposure to the chemicals and improve handling. New solid formulations containing methyl eugenol and either naled or dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate toxicants were compared with the standard formulations on cotton wicks in large scale field evaluation in Hawaii. Two reduced risk toxicants (spinosad and Rynaxypyr) were also evaluated. In one test the solid lure-toxicant-matrix combinations were sent to California to be weathered under California climate conditions and then sent back to Hawaii for evaluation. The polymer matrices with lure and toxicant were found to be as attractive as baited wicks and have the same longevity of attraction regardless of being weathered in Hawaii or in California. The new ingestible toxicants were also effective, although further testing of these ingestible lure + toxicant + matrix products is necessary.

“…28, the formulation development for the field trials involving pheromones needs a major refinement specifically in terms of the slow-release and protection from decomposition under ambient conditions29. ME in this context may be useful since it belongs to the class of a para-pheromone which mimics the role of a male attractant3031. Using supramolecular self-assembly principles and nanotechnology we have been able to achieve an increased shelf-life of the pheromone (ME) when immobilized in a nanogel.…”

Environment-friendly management of fruit flies involving pheromones is useful in reducing the undesirable pest populations responsible for decreasing the yield and the crop quality. A nanogel has been prepared from a pheromone, methyl eugenol (ME) using a low-molecular mass gelator. This was very stable at open ambient conditions and slowed down the evaporation of pheromone significantly. This enabled its easy handling and transportation without refrigeration, and reduction in the frequency of pheromone recharging in the orchard. Notably the involvement of the nano-gelled pheromone brought about an effective management of Bactrocera dorsalis, a prevalent harmful pest for a number of fruits including guava. Thus a simple, practical and low cost green chemical approach is developed that has a significant potential for crop protection, long lasting residual activity, excellent efficacy and favorable safety profiles. This makes the present invention well-suited for pest management in a variety of crops.
