Özet
The Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a serious pest on persimmon fruits in Turkey. The study was conducted in 2013-2014 to evaluate population fluctuation and damage rates of C. capitata on persimmon fruits in Hatay province of Turkey. The eostrap (R) invaginada traps baited with % 95 trimedlure impregnated in a polymeric plug-type dispenser were used. After two years of the study, the mean of catches, percentages of male and female and damage ratio of C. capitata varied in the sampling period and orchard. In 2013, the largest mean of catches per trap were recorded on 4 August in Belen and 25 August in Harbiye districts. The percentages of male per trap with 78.69 in Belen and 91.35 in Harbiye districts were higher than females with 21.31 in Belen and 8.65 in Harbiye districts. In 2014, the largest mean of catches per trap were recorded on 10 August in Belen and 17 August in Harbiye districts. The percentages of male per trap with 84.62 in Belen and 67.47 in Harbiye districts were higher than females with 15.38 in Belen and 32.53 in Harbiye districts. The percentages of damage ratio of C. capitata varied in each of the sampled orchard in both years. In 2013, the highest damage ratio of this pest was observed at the Belen IX orchard with 10.08 percent. In 2014, the highest damage ratio of C. capitata was observed at the Harbiye III orchard with 7.01 percent. In conclusion, the largest mean catches and percentages of male and female per trap were significantly high in August in both years and the percentages of damage ratio of this pest increased ripening and harvesting time of persimmon fruits in Hatay province of Turkey.
