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.

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 new demands regarding the quality of food and the largest movement of species of fruit flies around the world because of the fruit trade have made it necessary to improved pest control strategies in fruit, citrus and vine crops. At the beginning of the 21st century, Bioiberica developed a new system of liquid attractant (Cera Trap®) of great specificity and high efficacy for use not only in monitoring but also in mass trapping. This new line of biological attractants free of pesticides ...

Damages of C. capitata in Tunisia may cause losses of about 1.06 millions Dollars (US) per year on Citrus. By this factor, mass trapping is being evaluated for an effective control of this pest in citrus. The trials were conducted during 2 years (2010, 2011) with two types of Mediterranean fruit fly mass trapping systems Cera Trap® and Tripack® in citrus orchards in three different geographical regions of Tunisia. The Cera Trap® system showed a similar or even a higher effectiveness than ...
