Resumen
Descripción
Apple is an important crop among the cultivated fruit crops in Brazil. Although, South American fruit fly is an important insect-pest that causes losses of production if not controlled. Monitoring involves placing one McPhail trap every two hectares and checking them weekly, which requires significant labor. With the scarcity of workers, and their high cost, a solution could be the use of electronic traps, which automatically identify and compute South American Fruit flies. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate in apple and pear orchards McPhail electronic traps and their effectiveness in identifying fruit flies and their attractiveness in relation to conventional McPhail traps. The electronic traps were effective in detecting South American fruit fly, although, they captured four times less flies in relation to conventional McPhail traps. The technology showed effectiveness. Future developments may consider redesigning the sensor distribution or implementing an alternative threshold control for the application of insecticides.
