Attraction effectiveness of funnel traps in tones of blue and different heights together with a light source against apricot pests [Tropinota hirta (Poda, 1761) (Coleoptera: Cetoniidae)]

Abstract

This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of different traps, attractants and food traps parameters against to Trophinota hirta (Poda, 1761) (Coleoptera: Ciconiidae) in the apricot orchards in Baskil district of Elazığ province in 2018. For this purpose; By hanging funnel traps containing attractive capsules including Trans-cinnamyl alcohol + Trans-anethol + Methoxyphenethyl alcohol mixtures in apricot orchards, the effect of mass trapping of the pest at different height and combination of light sources was investigated. Another parameter used in the study was the number of adults captured in funnel traps, in which wine-bearing traps were placed at a ratio of 1/1. As a result of the research; It has been determined that the most successful experiment in mass trapping experiments against T. hirta in apricot orchards was the funnel-trap combination with Trans-cinnamyl alcohol+Trans-anethol+Methoxyphenethyl alcohol mixed with illuminated 3 and 1 m high. In this trap parameter; It was determined that statistically more T. hirta individuals were captured compared to other trap parameters. Statistically; In the examination of the average values; the highest number of individuals was captured with an average of 70.35 at 1 m high with 3 lights, the second at 1 m with 60.45 lights, and the third and the most at 1 m with 59.05 without light. It was determined that it was also
