Abstract
Proteinaceous food baits in water traps were 20X more efficient in trapping oriental fruit flies, Dacus dorsalis Hendel, in a dry climate (less than 25 cm avg annual rainfall) than in a wet climate (400 cm). Greater efficiency also was observed in a dry climate with the melon fly, D. cucurbitae Coquillett, and the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann).This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
