“…The global fruit fly issue is intensified by a small group of highly polyphagous and highly invasive pest species that competitively dominate the local fauna if they enter and establish in a region [47][48][49]. These pests can be controlled with pesticide sprays, mass trapping containing pheromone lures [50], and by the release of sterile males [51]. The efficiency of the control method depends on the time of application, being more effective when the pest is detected early.…”

Many species of insect pests can be detected and monitored automatically. Several systems have been designed in order to improve integrated pest management (IPM) in the context of precision agriculture. Automatic detection traps have been developed for many important pests. These techniques and new technologies are very promising for the early detection and monitoring of aggressive and quarantine pests. The aim of the present paper is to review the techniques and scientific state of the art of the use of sensors for automatic detection and monitoring of insect pests. The paper focuses on the methods for identification of pests based in infrared sensors, audio sensors and image-based classification, presenting the different systems available, examples of applications and recent developments, including machine learning and Internet of Things. Future trends of automatic traps and decision support systems are also discussed.

“…Mass trapping consists of the use of traps and baits that release specific volatile substances that attract insects to the trap, in which fruit flies are captured and killed (El-Sayed et al, 2009). However, for some fruit fly species, the use of mass trapping as a control tool depends on the availability of an effective and cheap attractant (Villalobos et al, 2017). Additionally, this technique is most applicable where the cost of labor is low as it is labor intensive.…”

“…Namely, deploying a high density of traps baited with hydrolysis protein or synthetic lures to reduce the tephritid pest population 7 . The efficacy of mass trapping has been proven in many economic importance species, such as Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae), Anastrepha obliqua Macquart, A. ludens (Loew), and A. fraterculus Wiedemann 8–12 . However, it is unknown whether mass trapping controls B. dorsalis , thereby decreasing fruit damage.…”

BACKGROUND: Bactrocera dorsalis is a notorious pest and spraying of insecticides has been the major approach to controlling its damage. However, insecticide abuse has led to negative impacts on public health and insecticide resistance; hence, sustainable strategies, such as bait stations, need to be developed and taken into account for B. dorsalis management. In this study, we integrated insecticide, sugar, olfactory and visual elements into a wax matrix to formulate a long-lasting bait station. We determined its efficacy against B. dorsalis under field conditions. RESULTS: The optimal bait station was a wax matrix incorporated with 1% spinetoram, 1% yellow pigment, and 3% ammonium acetate, and was spherical in shape with a 6 cm diameter. The longevity of this bait station was at least 10 weeks under field conditions. In a release and recapture experiment performed in Orchard 1, the bait stations were as effective as bait spray in controlling sterile fly populations, and more effective than the control. In a 2-year field trial conducted in Orchard 2, the number of female B. dorsalis and fruit infestation in the area where bait stations had been deployed was similar to the areas treated with cover spray. In Orchard 3, deployment of bait stations combined with chemical cover spray treatment decreased the population of female B. dorsalis and fruit damage more effectively than cover spray alone. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, wax-based bait stations can be regarded as a viable alternative to insecticides or a synergistic method for managing B. dorsalis.

Mass trapping is as effective as ground bait sprays for the control of Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae) fruit flies in mango orchards

Abstract: Our results demonstrate that mass trapping was as effective as GF-120 ground spraying for the control of fruit flies in mango cv. Ataulfo orchards. The suppression effect of mass trapping was similar to GF-120 ground bait spraying. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
