Abstract

Traps and attractants for capturing fruit flies in guava were evaluated in the field in two producing regions of Mexico: Calvillo, Aguascalientes, and Tlanchinol, Huejutla, Hidalgo. A completely randomized experimental design was used, with five treatments and four replicates. The experimental unit was the fly trap. The study variable was fly captures per species. McPhail Multilure traps and a homemade trap with holes were evaluated, along with commercial and homemade attractants. There were no significant statistical differences in the treatments for both sites, the species most captured were Anastrepha ludens and A. striata with 1.67 specimens for both in the first site, and the second site A. obliqua with 3.08 specimens with the artisanal trap with holes + Pelmoss® torula yeast. The homemade traps had fly-capturing performance similar to the commercial McPhail Multilure traps.
