| description | Field trapping of fruit-flies Dacus spp. (Diptera: Tephritidae) using methyl eugenol over a five week
period was conducted in a fruit farm at Gombah, Selaugor, The results showed that traps with slit holes caught
the greatest number of fruit-flies. Over 85% of the flies caught were male, Dacus dorsalis, Hendel. When
different formulations of methyl eugenol; malaathion 50EC + methyl eugenol, Carbaryl85S + methyl eugenol,
Dipterex SP 95%) methyl eugenol and distilled water + methyl eugenol were tested at Serdang significant
differences 'were only detected in the number of flies trapped in those traps with methyl eugenol -I- insecticides
and those 'with methyl eugenol alone. The technique use were effective in controlling the fruit-flies for there
was a reduction of 20% of damaged carambola fruits. |
