TI  - Behavioral responses of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) (Diptera: Tephritidae) to hydrolyzed yeast and different types of sugars
AB  - Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a major pest of fruits and vegetables worldwide. This study was conducted at Çukurova University (Türkiye) in 2021. In this study, different types of sugar and hydrolyzed yeast were evaluated to determine the behavioral response of adult C. capitata using a four-arm olfactometer and wind tunnel. Some of the most attractive sugars to C. capitata were combined with hydrolyzed yeast, to check whether their attractiveness could be further improved. The sugars used in the study were alpha glucose, arabinose, fructose, galactose, maltose, melibiose, ribose, sucrose and trehalose. The results showed that C. capitata had a significantly higher attraction to arabinose, fructose, melibiose, ribose and trehalose than the other four sugars. The number of adults that responded to trehalose was higher than the other sugars, so behavioral responses of C. capitata to hydrolyzed yeast, trehalose and hydrolyzed yeast + trehalose were tested in comparison to a control group. This study demonstrated that C. capitata was more attracted to the combination of hydrolyzed yeast + trehalose than to each of these alone or to the control.
