Abstract

Efficient, economic, and simple monitoring methods are important to develop successful integrated management for Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) especially in developing countries.Two 5-wk tests were carried out to study the capture of ACP adults using yellow sticky traps by adding commercial citrus fruit scents (lemon, tangerine, or orange) or commercial coconut oil (first test) and to compare these baits with commercial lures (Alpha Scents and Pest Wizard) (second test) under natural infestation conditions. In the first test, the following treatments were carried out: yellow sticky traps baited with 1) coconut oil; 2) lemon, tangerine, or orange commercial scents; or 3) unbaited yellow sticky tramps (control). In the second test, treatments were as follows: traps baited with 1) coconut oil; 2) lemon, tangerine, or orange commercial scents; 3) two different commercial lures (Pest Wizard and Alpha Scents); and 4) unbaited traps. In the first experiment, the results obtained showed that traps with a coconut oil lure captured 4.4 ACP adults per trap per week, whereas control traps caught 1 ACP adult. In the second test, coconut oil (4.5 adults per trap per week) and Alpha Scents (4.2 individuals) lures also exhibited a higher capture in comparison to all citrus scents (3.1 individuals) and Pest Wizard (3.5 individuals), and control (2 individuals). In conclusion, these results suggest that the use of commercial attractants, mainly coconut oil, can be more attractive than unbaited traps and this may be helpful for integrating into integrated pest management programs intended for ACP.
