Field trial of an attractant mixture for dipterous, including the pest Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Dipt., Tephritidae), in Valencia, Spain

In field trials of tentative lures for female Ceratitis capitata, made in two areas of Valencia (Spain), it was observed that a mixture, not previously described, of ethyl acetate, acetic acid and ethanol attracted dipterous of different species, some of them being pests of economic importance (incl...

Description
Summary:In field trials of tentative lures for female Ceratitis capitata, made in two areas of Valencia (Spain), it was observed that a mixture, not previously described, of ethyl acetate, acetic acid and ethanol attracted dipterous of different species, some of them being pests of economic importance (including C. capitata). This mixture appears to be Diptera specific, and suitable for the monitoring or control of the identified species. Coboldia fuscipes Meigen, Drosophila funebris F. and Megaselia sp. are the most attracted.
