“…Spinosad formulations with bait (Spintor ® ) have proved to be as effective as malathion, but some fruit damage problems were described in 2004 and 2005 in citrus and in other crops when Spintor ® was applied in spots (Alfaro F, private communication). In fact, scars appear at the point where the bait spot touches the fruit or the leaves …”

“…Factors such as rainfall (Piñero et al 2009a) and phytotoxicity (DeLury et al 2009) may influence the efficacy or utility of foliar applications of insecticidal baits. In a previous study (Piñero et al 2009a) rainfall that fell during or shortly after foliar applications of GF-120 in commercial papaya, Carica papaya L. (Brassicales: Caricaceae), orchards reduced bait effectiveness.…”

“…Intensive research has demonstrated that PLMs not only protect GF-120 against rainfall but also enhance the behavioral response of adult fruit flies to this bait and extend its attractiveness for at least one week (Piñero et al 2009b). Furthermore, the application of insecticidal baits onto PLMs circumvents the phytotoxicity caused by this bait on some crops (DeLury et al 2009) and minimizes degradation of spinosad by photolysis (Mangan et al 2006). …”

Bait stations represent an environmentally friendly attract-and-kill approach to fruit fly population suppression. Recently a novel, visually attractive, rain-fast bait station was developed in Hawaii for potential use against multiple species of pestiferous fruit flies. Here, we compared the efficacy of GF-120 NF Naturalyte Fruit Fly Bait applied either as foliar sprays or onto bait stations in reducing female oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), population density and level of fruit infestation in commercial papaya orchards in Hawaii. Trapping and infestation data were used as indicators of the effectiveness of the two bait application methods. For the first 10 weeks of the study, captures of female B. dorsalis in monitoring traps were significantly greater in control plots than in plots treated with foliar sprays or bait stations. Six weeks after the first bait spray, incidence of infestation (i.e. number of fruit with one or more B. dorsalis larvae) of quarter to half-ripe papaya fruit was reduced by 71.4% and 63.1% for plots with bait stations and foliar sprays, respectively, as compared to control plots. Twelve weeks after first spray, incidence of infestation was reduced by only 54.5% and 45.4% for plots with bait stations and foliar sprays, respectively, as compared to control plots. About 42% less GF-120 was used in orchard plots with bait stations compared to those subject to foliar sprays. The impact of field sanitation on the outcome is also discussed. The results indicate that bait stations can provide a simple, efficient, and economical method of applying insecticidal baits to control fruit flies and a safer alternative to foliar sprays.

“…However, spinosad formulations with bait (Spintor ® ) have only shown an efficacy equal to that of malathion 2. Moreover, some foliage damage3 and citrus fruit scars (Alfaro F, private communication) have been described when Spintor ® was applied in spots. Actually, scars appeared at the point where the bait spot touched the fruit.…”
