Abstract:

This paper reports on progress and innovations recently introduced at the National Programme of Fruit Flies in Mexico. It offers data about an alternative for catch of especially the fruit flies Anastrepha spp., using together with the bait station MS2^® and the efficient attractant CeraTrap^®, which decreases the rates of MTD (flies/trap/day) in four weeks. New method was considered an environmentally friendly alternative with less injurious effects on beneficial fauna by reduced insecticide application.

Keywords:
