Mass trapping proved to be useful technique for the suppression of fruit fly populations in urban areas of the Province of San Juan. The trials carried out in the target area suggest that liquid retention system based on protein solution is convenient not only because of its trapping performance, but also for its reduced toxicity, relatively high persistence of the attractiveness, and low maintenance.

Developing improved strategies for managing Drosophila suzukii (spotted wing drosophila SWD) will be necessary to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides and minimize the damage caused by this recently introduced pest. Given the limitations in insecticide active ingredients and the need for integrated management of pests, the R&D Department of Bioiberica has developed Suzukii Trap®, a specific food attractant for monitoring and mass trapping D.suzukii. During 2013, several trials were pe...

CeraTrap® (CT) is an attractant formulation of natural origin, based on a liquid protein obtained by an exclusive method of enzymatic hydrolysis, with strong attraction capacity for fruit flies and free of pesticides. The system functions thanks to a regular emission of volatile organic compounds. Due to this, the strongly attracted flies fall into the trap and as they are unable to escape, drown into the liquid and die.Electroantennogram (EAG) analysis were performed in order to measure an...

The Mexican Lemon (Citrus aurantifolia) is grown in Mexico primarily in six states and covers an area of 153,442.62 hectares. Like other citrus also affected by the disease known as HLB (Huanglongbing), it is caused by the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, being this the most important disease worldwide because it causes a significant decrease in the production of most citrus including lemon Mexican where severe damages were observed. The use of minerals have been used to increase...

CROP-SCAN ® is a remote detection system for crop stress diagnosis and management. It is based on images obtained by thermal and multispectral cameras by flying over farms in determinate conditions. The technology used allows the integration on a map, with optimal spatial and temporal resolution, of the plant physiological parameters that indicate the status, development and production of the crop. The system allows to perform a precision agriculture by identifying every tree of the studied...
