Determination of the effectiveness of release techniques with different tones of yellow colored sticky traps with light source added in the fight against cherry fly (Rhagoletis cerasi L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

In this study was carried out to the determine of different yellow sticky traps against cherry fruit fly (Rhagoletis cerasi L.) in 2019 year. The studies were conducted in Harput location in Elazığ Merkez Sütlüce village. Four different trap colors were compared with Rebell® amarillo trap with and without light. The 1023 color light trap attracted more cherry fly adults than the standard Rebell® amarillo trap. In addition, while the ratio of the fruits collected from the trees with 1023 colored light traps hanging was calculated as 1%, the ratio of the fruits collected from the trees with which the Rebell trap was hanging was calculated as 3%. It has been determined that the combination of visual traps with light has better shooting efficiency than non-illuminated traps. As a result of statistical analysis, between control and 1016 lights, between control and 1023 lights, between 1016 lights and 1003 lights, between 1016 lights and 1021 lights, between 1016 lights and 1023 lights, between 1023 lights and 1021 lights, between 1023 lights and 1023 lights, 1003 There is a significant difference between the unlit and 1021 lights, between 1003 unlit and 1023 lights, between 1021 unlit and 1023 lights, since the p-value is <0.05. Also; between control and 1016 lights, between control and 1003 lights, between control and 1021 lights, between control and 1023 lights, between 1016 lights and 1003 lights, between 1016 lights and 1021 lights, between 1016 lights and 1023 lights, between 1023 lights and 1021 lights. There was a significant difference between 1023 unlit and 1023 illuminated, 1003 unlit and 1021 illuminated, 1003 unlit and 1023 illuminated, since the p-value was <0.05. The results of this study; Cherry contains important results in terms of integrated pest control and pest control activities in organic agriculture.
