Mass Trapping Technique vs. Dimethoate for controlling Medfly Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) on Citrus spp. in El-Zahara area, Western Tripoli- Libya
Keywords:
mass trapping technique, Ceratitis capitata, Fruit fly, Dimethoate, CitrusAbstract
The efficacy of Mass Trapping Technique by using (FLYCAP®) vs. Dimethoate was tested against Medfly Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) in Citrus orchards in El-Zahara area, Western Tripoli during 2009-2010. Results of investigating 3500 fruit in mass trapping treatment and 1000 fruit in each of insecticide treatment and control showed a good efficacy of the technique. The fruit infestation rates were 17.35% ± 1.165 and 15.17% ± 1.889 for mass trapping and Dimethoate treatment respectively. The statistical analysis showed no significant differences between them, while the infestation rate for the control treatment was 36.5% ± 12.911.
