Abstract

Fruit fly (Bactrocera spp.) is a global major pest species of the fruit export and import activities. The controlling and monitoring strategies based on the ecology of fruit flies were expected to overcome the problem of fruit flies. The study on the attractant compound of fruit flies from mango extract  may provide an alternative to control and to monitor fruit flies, both male or female. This research was aimed to determine the strength of attractiveness (number and type of species) and durability (day) on mango extract which could attract fruit flies. The experiment was conducted in mango plantation in Sragen Regency using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five different locations for setting up the trap, each location consisted of nine treatments. The parameter observations were the number of trapped-fruit flies, the sex of fruit flies, the type of species fruit flies, and the durability of mango extract. The results revealed that mango extract could attract the male and female fruit flies with mechanism through the presence of nutrition and oviposition site. Extract of raw Pakel mango had a good ability to attract fruit flies, either male or female of B. carambolae and B. papaya, and male of B. albistrigata with a total of 15 flies per trap in one week.

Abstract

Beet armyworm (Spodoptera exigua Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is known to be a polyphagous insect that infests many crops such as welsh onion, maize, tobacco, cotton, and others. In Indonesia, this species is a major pest of shallot. The study was aimed to monitor the population of beet armyworm in the shallot plantation in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta. The monitoring was conducted using pheromone traps containing Z-9-tetra decanol 10 µg/rubber unit and Z-9-tetradecadienyl 90 µg/rubber unit. The pheromone was placed in the fields to trap males during on- and off-shallot plant season. The sites for placing the pheromone traps were selected in the farms where shallot was planted once and twice per year. The selected sites were with shallot and non-shallot in their surrounding areas. The result showed that males emerged both on- and off-shallot planting seasons in most of the areas. The average number of trapped males during the shallot season was < 5 males/trap/week. The number increased and reached the peak (7.33 males/trap/week) in June until July which was the off-shallot season. The population reduced to < 2 males/trap/week at the end of second shallot planting season until end of the year where the fields were mostly planted with rice. These findings indicate that the beet armyworm presents all year around with or without shallot in the fields. It suggests that management of this insect should be done not only during the shallot season but also the remaining seasons to obtain more effectiveness.
