Abstract

The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae Rossi, is the most important pest of olive and there are different methods for controlling adult olive fruit fly including the use of food attractants. The aim of performing this research was to determine the efficacy of products prepared from aquatic animal wastes under the commercial name of Aminohircan® in comparison to other attractants. The experiments were performed in five treatments with four replicates each in Guilan and Qazvin provinces during the years 2014 and 2015. The treatments included: 1. Imported protein hydrolyzate of Mcphail trap (Agrisense® Corporation) 3%, 2. Plastic bottle containing imported Protein hydrolyzate (Agrisense® Corporation) of Olipe trap 3%, 3. Marine animal waste protein (Aminohircan®) of Mcphail trap 4%, 4. Plastic bottle containing marine animal waste protein (Aminohircan®) 4%, and 5. Yellow sticky traps with olive fruit fly sex pheromone. Sampling was performed weekly and the results of this investigation showed that the mean of male insects’ attraction in Guilan province with Marine protein (Aminohircan®) in Mcphail trap (6.55 ± 0.73) and with yellow sticky traps with sex pheromone (6.76 ± 0.14) were are not significantly different. While the yellow sticky traps with sex pheromone (6.47 ± 1.37) attracted the highest number of male olive fruit fly in Ghazvin province. The attraction of female fruit flies in Guilan and Ghazvin provinces with Mcphail trap (Aminohircan®) showed the highest rates of 5.93 ± 1.08 and 4.45 ± 0.37 attraction rates, respectively. Based on these results, the marine animal wastes (Aminohircan®) can be considered as a suitable compound in attracting and monitoring of olive fruit fly population.
