cage study of spinosad-based bait efficacy on bactrocera cucurbitae, dacus ciliatus, and dacus demmerezi (diptera: tephritidae) in reunion island. | on reunion island, bactrocera cucurbitae (coquillett), dacus ciliatus (loew), and dacus demmerezi (bezzi) cause severe damage to cucurbit crops. the aim of the study was to test in field cages the effectiveness of synéis-appât (dow agrosciences), a spinosad-based bait (0.02% of spinosad) on both attraction and mortality of young adults (6-9 d old) of these three species. the effects of gender were also evaluated for all species whereas the effects of protein deprivation were tested with b. cucur ... | 2012 | 22928317 |
implementing a spinosad-based local bait station to control bactrocera cucurbitae (diptera: tephritidae) in high rainfall areas of reunion island. | three species of fruit flies cause serious damage to cucurbit crops on reunion island: bactrocera cucurbitae (diptera: tephritidae) (coquillett 1899), dacus ciliatus (loew 1901), and dacus demmerezi (bezzi 1917). to control them, a program of agroecological management of cucurbit flies has been implemented based on the application of synéis-appât, especially spot sprays on corn borders. however, the high rainfall on reunion island limits the long-term efficiency of the bait; in addition, this me ... | 2015 | 25688089 |
development of immature stages and comparative demography of two cucurbit-attacking fruit flies in reunion island: bactrocera cucurbitae and dacus ciliatus (diptera tephritidae). | on reunion island, two species of dacini, bactrocera cucurbitae (coquillett) and dacus ciliatus loew, infest 16 host plant species belonging to the family cucurbitaceae from sea level to 1,600 m. these two species represent two primary pests of this plant family on the island. melon fly, bactrocera cucurbitae, and ethiopian fruit fly, d. ciliatus, larval development was studied at four different constant temperatures (15, 20, 25, and 30 degrees c) with three host plants (cucumber, pumpkin, and s ... | 2008 | 18419901 |
comparison of the efficacy of different food attractants and their concentration for melon fly (diptera: tephritidae). | the relative attractiveness of six commercially available protein hydrolysates and the influence of their concentration were evaluated in field cages by a release-capture method of lab-reared melon fly adults, bactrocera cucurbitae (coquillett). buminal, corn steepwater, hym-lure, pinnacle, nulure, and solbait were tested for both sexes of the melon fly. the tested products exhibited clear differences in attractiveness. solbait was the most effective protein hydrolysate. pinnacle and corn steepw ... | 2003 | 12650367 |
species diversity within a community of the curcurbit fruit flies bactrocera cucurbitae, dacus ciliatus, and dacus demmerezi roosting in corn borders near cucurbit production areas of reunion island. | in order to better control fruit flies (diptera: tephritidae) attacking cucurbitaceae on reunion island (21°6 s/ 55°36 e), biological characteristics (seasonal fluctuation, relative abundance, sex ratio) of communities roosting in corn borders were investigated. the study was conducted in austral summer across a range of altitudes (750-1150 m) corresponding to the main areas of cucurbit cropping. living adults were recorded roosting on corn planted within or around cucurbit fields. results showe ... | 2012 | 22958393 |
