Field Study of the Effectiveness of Three Different Homemade Trapping Devices of Fruit Flies in Male Annihilation Technique | Chapter 8 | Cutting Edge Research in Biology Vol. 7

 Most of the nations are unlikely expected able to estimate deficits due to fruits and salads specifically began by economically important bug species Because of these characteristics, a rapid answer is critical to contain or even destroy these exotic bug outbreaks by planning to humble the cost of the fight with all appropriate means. Thus, the study of these handmade trapping devices demonstrated that the average catches of Bactrocera invadens obtained from handmade open-bottom dry traps of mineral water clear plastic containers of 1.5 L, 5 L, and "Sentrap" Open-top Dry local Trap (plastic original improved by SENCHIM, an agrochemicals industry located in Senegal) were compared to the normal trap "Multilure" (Better World Manufacturing, Inc.., Miami, FL). Results show that no significant dissimilarity was found when "Multilure" was distinguished to the 5 L plastic container trap. The study of the relationships between catches and type of trap was important for all of them. Sentrap, "Multilure" and 1.5 L container trap exhibited a very extreme significant reliance relationships (r = -0.969**, r = -0.903** and r = -0.801**; individually and p< 0.01). And the 5 L bottle trap was significant accompanying r = -0.801* and p< 0.05. Thus, in case of lack of conventional traps, the flexible bottle of 5 L manage, therefore, be secondhand as an alternative and its basic part painted in yellow concede possibility increase its effectiveness. Current control measures against fruit flees mainly combine the use of insecticides as a cover spray or bait and targeting the adult flies. The use of poison is not a suitable control measure formerly the female fly has located egg inside the product meso carp, cause the chances of affecting the larvae inside the fruits is very reduce. Also, due to natural design and less time wanted for servicing "Sentrap", growing its capacity and openings and fixing firmly the superior part with a cap screw ability improve allure efficiency.
