Abundance of Bactrocera spp. in Solanaceae Cultivation Using Recycled Bottle Traps with Attractants and Insect Glue in Tanjung Pering Village. In: Herlinda S et al.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of trap bottle color and bait type on the abundance of Bactrocera spp. The experiment was conducted over six consecutive days in a 1-hectare agricultural field in Tanjung Pering, Ogan Ilir, where eggplant (Solanum melongena), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), and chili (Capsicum annuum) were planted. Colored bottle traps (red, yellow, green, and transparent) were installed at approximately 1.5 m above ground and treated with either Methyl Eugenol  (ME) or a combination of ME + Insect Gum  (IG). Fly abundance was recorded daily and analyzed using ANOVA and t-tests to compare treatment effects. The results indicated that only bait type significantly affected Bactrocera spp. abundance, with the ME + IG combination capturing more flies (385 ± 1.87 individuals) than ME alone (169 ± 0.98 individuals), whereas trap color and hole size (1–2 cm) had no significant effect (p > 0.05). Among the species, Bactrocera dorsalis was the dominant species (1,457 individuals), followed by B. umbrosa (547 individuals), with distinct morphological traits distinguishing the two species. These findings demonstrate that the effectiveness of modified bottle traps is primarily determined by bait type rather than trap color or hole size, and that the ME + IG combination is recommended as an effective strategy for managing fruit flies in Solanaceae crops in Tanjung Pering, Ogan Ilir.]]>
