Population suppression of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) on table grapes using toxic baits.

To provide alternatives to the use of spraying synthetic insecticides in C. capitata management, was evaluated the effect of ?attract and kill? toxic baits on population suppression of C. capitata in three commercial areas producing table grapes. Toxic baits of Gelsura" (4.5 L ha-1) and Success"? 0.02 CB (4.0 L ha-1) resulted in lower population levels of C. capitata adults in monitoring traps after five sequential applications at weekly intervals during the maturation period of the grapes when compared with control plots with or without insecticidal spray. In addition, plots with Gelsura? and Success? 0.02 CB applications showed a significant reduction in damage (%) by C. capitata on grape berries and grape bunches when compared with control plots without or with insecticidal spray. However, when compared with a plot treated by conventional management with sprays of etofenprox (Safety?, 100 g c.p. (commercial product) 100 L-1) and applications of spinosad (Success? 0.02 CB toxic bait) with a brush, only Gelsura? (4.5 L ha-1) showed a lower level of damage of grape berries and grape bunches. Toxic baits Gelsura? (4.5 L ha-1) and Success? 0.02 CB (4.0 L ha-1) are promising alternatives for the population suppression of C. capitata on table grapes.
