Effectiveness of Modified Traps for Protection Against Fruit Flies on Mango

Abstract

Mango is one of the primary fruit export commodities in Indonesia. The productivity of mango can be increased by controlling the pest population, including fruit flies Bactrocera spp. Various efforts to control the population of fruit flies have been carried out, either by implementing traditional methods or by using synthetic pesticides. However, synthetic pesticides can cause pollution, and therefore we need to control the fruit flies’ population by using the most effective fruit fly trap mode. The study was conducted in the mango yield (monoculture) of Department of Agriculture in Majalengka. The traps in this study were modified Steiner traps with funnels, modified Steiner traps without funnels, bottle traps with funnels, bottle traps without funnels, and modified gypsy moth traps. Each trap was fed with 0.2 ml of Methyl eugenol dripped on a cotton roll and hung in the trap. The results showed that the number of fruit flies caught in each trap every week is significantly different. The highest number of fruit flies caught in each trap every week was achieved by bottle traps without funnels that caught 135 flies, while the lowest number of fruit flies caught was recorded by the gypsy moth traps with 16 flies. The transparent color of the bottles and a large number of holes effectively lured the fruit flies into the bottle traps without funnels.

Pengaruh Terapi Pursed Lip Breathing Meniup Balon Terhadap Status Oksigenasi Anak Dengan Asma

“…Hal ini terbukti setelah dilakukan terapi PLB frekuensi pernapasan responden menjadi lebih lambat. PLB juga menyebabkan otot perut berkontraksi ketika ekspirasi, hal ini akan memaksa diafragma ke atas, dan membantu untuk mengosongkan paru-paru, akibatnya penderita asma akan bernapas lebih lambat dan lebih efisien (Suryantoro, Isworo, & Upoyo, 2017 Salah satu akibat dari serangan asma akut adalah penurunan kadar saturasi oksigen darah (SpO2). Penurunan saturasi oksigen ini jika tidak segera ditanggulangi akan menyebabkan terjadinya hipoksia jaringan.…”

Evaluation of different traps and lures combinations for monitoring and eco-friendly management of fruit fly (Bactrocera Spp) in peach orchards

“…To control population of fruit flies and to minimize infestation of fruit and vegetables different control strategies are applied including traditional ways and application of chemical insecticides. In traditional methods fruits and vegetables are prevented from infestation by wrapping them with different materials like newspapers, plastic bags and coconut leaves [5] . While most of the farmers rely on application of synthetic insecticides, as these chemicals result in quick control of pest and can also be applied on large scale [6] however, regular use of these synthetic chemicals disturb and pollute ecosystem, annihilate natural enemies population and results in the development of resistance and resurgence of the target pest [5] .…”

“…Male of some Bactrocera species are strongly attracted to different lures like methyl eugenol, raspberry ketone and culure [8] and these volatile substances can attract male fruit flies at distance of about 3 km (Kardinan, 2003) [7] ; Therefore, farmers use these attractive traps for control of fruit flies infestation in their fields [9] . Different stimuli including visual stimuli, color and shape affect adult fruit flies behavior especially, while finding their host [5] , Thus for effective control of fruit flies (Bactrocera spp) by using different traps material, shape and other modifications need special attention [10] . As various types of fruit flies traps have been developed for monitoring and control purposes and the efficacy of these traps depends upon attractant used, shape, environmental conditions, pest population, height of the trap and direction of the trap installed [11] , and there are significant differences recorded in efficacy of different traps [12] , hence for effective management of fruit flies population appropriate selection of traps is indispensable [13] .…”

Effect of Various Depth of Pupation On Adult Emergence of Interspecific Hybrid of Bactrocera Carambolae And Bactrocera Dorsalis

“…Bactrocera metamorphosis is holometabolous, as it consists of egg, larvae, pupa and imago (Plant Health Australia, 2016). The development of techniques and research on fruit y control is mostly focused on adults, for example the use of methyl eugenol (Bajaj & Singh, 2020), modi ed traps (Susanto et al, 2020), essence lure (Susanto et al, 2019), and botanical pesticides. However, there is little discussion on the possibility of Bactrocera pupae control.…”
