REPORT 2010/11 ASOCIACIÓN CITRICULTORES HUELVA
Mass trapping with fly trap MAXITRAP by Probodelt stands out in Huelva as the best system for Ceratitis control.
This statement was made because of the results that appear in the 2010/11 report of the Huelva Province Citrus Farmers Association “Asociación de Citricultores de la Provincia de Huelva (ACPH)”.
The efficiency of the different systems for Ceratitis control applied in Huelva was analyzed by comparing the density of fly population in the corresponding plots. A lower number of captures in the area means a lower population density and consequently, a greater efficiency of the technique (see diagram).
The following control systems were compared:
The diagram shows that combining fly trap MAXITRAP by Probodelt with the attractant manufactured by Sedq has made it possible to keep the fly population at lower levels throughout the whole season. This combination has even avoided some specific increases in the population which were noticed during the second half of the campaign in areas controlled by means of other techniques.

The following control systems were compared:
Two mass trapping options with fly trap MAXITRAP by Probodelt with a dry attractant:
The first one by using Probodelt attractant manufactured by SEDQ (red line)
The second one with Biolure Unipack attractant (blue line)
Two options of Attrack & Kill (purple and green lines)
A variation of mass trapping with liquid attractant (orange line)

N.B.: For the 2011 campaign, PROBODELT is launching a new product on the market (Fly trap MAXITRAP PLUS and Insecticide Cover KILLTAP) which increases the capturing capacity significantly. The same results can be achieved with a reduction of 20% in the number of traps (for citrus, 40 traps per hectare will be enough).
