Abstract

Olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae Rossi (Dip.: Tephritidae) is the most important pest of olive orchards in IRAN. There are different methods to control the pest such as using different types of traps by attractive compounds or sexual pheromones, Bait spray on canopy, trunk or spray on some rows of trees and cover spray. In this research, efficiency of a new technique "Lure and Kill" by using magnet-ol® traps was evaluated and compared with other kinds of traditional traps. The results were evaluated by two way attractions of traps and reduction of fruits infestation. Results showed that "Lure and Kill" technique using Magnet-ol® trap had no significant differences in comparison with other traps. Mean number of flies captured by yellow sticky traps using bicarbonate ammonium as attractant was 1.00 ± 0.454, yellow sticky traps was 1.00 ± 0.423, Magnet ol was 1.00 ± 0.315 and Olipe traps was 0.75 ± 0.435. The total infestation index of Magnet ol® Traps in comparison was 3.5% with control plot 6.7% until October that indicated a positive impact of magnet-ol® traps and this method could be used as one of the olive fruit fly control
