Özet
The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a serious pest on persimmon fruits in Turkey. The study was conducted in 2015-2017 to determine efficacy of various attractants to C. capitata on persimmon fruits in Hatay province of Turkey. The Decis and Maxitrap traps baited with various attractants impregnated in paper handkerchief dispensers were used. After three years of the study, efficacy of various attractants to C. capitata varied in each of the sampling year. In 2015, the highest mean of catches were observed on single ammonium bicarbonate and the combination of ammonium bicarbonate + diammonium phosphate attractant traps. In 2016, the mean of the catches with all attractant traps were significantly higher than those of the previous year and yet statistically there were no significant differences among them. In 2017, the highest mean of catches were observed on ammonium acetate, ammonium carbonate and ammonium bicarbonate attractant traps. In conclusion, the Decis traps baited with ammonium bicarbonate and ammonium bicarbonate + diammonium phosphate attractants capture both females and males of C. capitata. The Maxitrap traps baited with high concentrations of ammonium acetate, ammonium carbonate and ammonium bicarbonate attractants caught significantly high numbers of C. capitata comparing to commercially available ammonium acetate + trimethylamine + putrescine and ammonium acetate + trimethylamine + cadaverine attractant traps. The highest mean of the damage rates were observed with 9 percent in 2015, followed with 7 percent in 2016, and 4.40 percent in 2017. In addition, In three years, the percent of the damage fruits increased the last two estimations due to ripening and harvesting time of persimmon fruits.
