Efficiency of different types of traps in mass trapping Drosophila suzukii (Diptera, Drosophilidae) in raspberry plantings

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) is an invasive oligophagous pest native to southeastern Asia. The first documented report of this pest in Serbia was in 2014. The insect is a pest of healthy and physiologically mature (ripening) soft fruits. The aim of the study was to determine the efficiency o...

Description
Summary:Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) is an invasive oligophagous pest native to southeastern Asia. The first documented report of this pest in Serbia was in 2014. The insect is a pest of healthy and physiologically mature (ripening) soft fruits. The aim of the study was to determine the efficiency of different types of baited traps in mass trapping specimens of this species in raspberry plantings. Five types of blends (attractants) were used for mass trapping. The experiment was set up on May 27th, 2017. Inspection and sample collections were carried out at 7-10 day intervals from June 4th to July 31st, 2017. Based on the analysed field data, we confirmed that standard trap S was the most efficient, with 8099 specimens caught in the experimental period. The number of caught specimens decreased in the deployed traps, as follows: trap T4 (695), trap T3 (682), trap T2 (643), and trap T1 (482) as the least efficient. Statistical analyses showed very significant differences between the standard trap and trap T1, and significant differences between the standard trap and the other trap types in the average number of caught specimens. No significant differences in trapping were found between the other trap types.
