摘要

Citrus yields in India suffer heavy losses from fruit flies, Bactrocera dorsalis and B. zonata. Conventional methyl eugenol traps require frequent lure replacement, raising costs and labour. The Shatpada fruit fly trap—a controlled-release semiochemical trap developed at the ICAR-National Bureau of Agricultural Insect Resources, Bengaluru, India—was evaluated under the ICAR-All India Co-ordinated Research Project on Fruits, at five locations—Akola, Rahuri, Ludhiana, Tinsukia, and Tirupati—during 2022–2023 and 2024–2025. A total of 20 Shatpada fruit fly traps and 20 conventional traps were compared at each site. The Shatpada fruit fly trap performed significantly better only at Rahuri (100.7 vs 77.2 flies/trap) and 9.75% vs 17.0% fruit damage. Conventional traps were superior at Akola (41.09 vs 29.31), Tinsukia (41.73 vs 24.68 flies/trap) and Tirupati (11.06 vs 6.00 flies/trap). At Ludhiana, both traps captured similar numbers (39.5 vs 39.4 flies/trap), although conventional traps showed lower fruit damage (27.3% vs 37.5%). Despite variable efficacy across locations, the Shatpada fruit fly trap demonstrated significantly longer lure persistence (up to 92 days) and reduced replacement frequency, indicating its potential as a cost-effective and eco-friendly option for fruit fly management under specific agro-climatic conditions.
