| Abstract | ||
| Field experiments were conducted during 2007 and 2008 to determine the efficacy of GF-120 NF Naturalyte Fruit Fly Bait to control of Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis captitata population in citrus orchards and reduction of fruits infestation percentages. Timing of sprays were based on the records of Mcphail trap supplemented with Trimidlure. The result of 2007 season indicated that spray of GF-120 for one time during the season, reduced infestation percentage down to 8.69% and to 5.26% for two times sprays compared with 56.25% for the control. In 2008 season, sprays were done at three dates depend on the level of captured adults by the traps. The results depicted high reduction of fruit infestation percentages when GF-120 was used for one time spray (10%), twice (5%), and three times (3%) in comparison with 39% for untreated trees. Percent efficacy of GF-120 range between 64.46 and 90.65 for 2007 season and between 74.36 and 92.31 for 2008 season. Therefore, we recommend using GF-120 for the control of Mediterranean fruit fly, due to its high efficacy as spot treatment which lead to reduce environmental and health risks. | ||
