| Abstract |
The pubescent rose chafer, Troinota squalida Scop adult is an important pest in newly reclaimed areas in Egypt and causes Serious problems to fruit crops during winter and early spring. Farmers in Egypt are using different types of dung for manuring and amending the new reclaimed lands, and El-sayed & Homam (2005) concluded that any one of the tested dungs (cattle, horse, Poultry and their mixture) were essential for T. squalida to develop. In recent years efforts have been concentrated on achieving acceptable crop protection with no need for chemical pesticides. The aim of this work was to confirm and quantify earlier observations by Homam (1994) that odour plays a significant role in attraction of T squalida adults. Field experiments were carried out to screen eight fragrance oils to determine the most suitable for use in traps to control T. squalida adults.
Pink oil was significantly more attractive to T. squailida adults than any of thc othcr oils, although traps baited with Arabian jasmine or rose oils also caught more bettes than unbaited traps (Table 1). Thc highest captures (63.5%) in the pink-baited traps were recorded as 90% of the flowers had scl. A decrease in flowering caused an increase in effectiveness of the trap. The pink-baited trap recorded sex ratio 0.88:1 female: male, while the hand collection recorded 0.63:1. The six traps baited with pink oil collected 4,832 beetles, while hand colleclion by three workers collected 3,579 beetles in seven sessions
