The main objective of this research was to determine if the lunar phases influence the fruit fly's (Citrus reticulata) reproduction in mandarin orange crops. Traps were monitored at each lunar phase change for three months, from July to September 2020, and the respective data were recorded in the field by the usage of three food attractants: hydrolyzed protein, yeast, and tangerine essence, with a dosage of 250cc per Trampa Mcpheil. Thirty-six treatments were evaluated with three repetitions in a three-factor design: lunar phases, months, and traps; these data were analyzed with Bonferroni pairwise comparisons, and it was determined that the means for the phases and months did not have a statistically significant difference. Also, the analysis of variances with general factorial regression was carried out in which it was identified that individually, only the trap factor with the attractive essence of mandarin influences the presence of the fruit fly; two- and three-factor interactions show no influence. In conclusion: the lunar phases do not influence the reproduction and behavior of the Ceratitis capitata fly; however, there is a numerical difference in the trap with mandarin essence in which there is a presence of 56% of the flies with greater participation of females than males. In addition, this attractant is inexpensive compared to the others, so its use is recommended for fly control, especially in females compared to the other treatments. |
