FRUIT JUICES AS ATTRACTANTS FOR ADULTS OF Anastrépha fraterculus (Wied., 1830) (DIPTERA,TEPHRITIDAE)
Abstract
Responses of Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.) adulta to twelve natural and sweeted fruit juices were studied. With natural juices, highest captures occurred on traps baited with peach, "guabiroba", black berry, and orange, whereas with sweetish juices were on feijoa, "guabiroba", Brazilian guava, peach and guava. For all juices, more females than males were captured when they were sweeted. With natural juices, highest captures of females occurred on peach, "guabiroba", orange, black berry and Brazilian guava, and with sweetish juices were on Brazilian guava, "guabiroba", feijoa, peach and guava. Highest increasing in captures of females, when sugar was added, occurred on Brazilian guava, feijoa, "guabiroba", guava and wild cherry juices.
