EVALUATION OF HYDROLYZED CORN PROTEIN FOR CAPTURE OF Lonchaea cristula (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) PEST OF PASSION FRUIT IN THE CAUCA VALLEY
Main Article Content
This study tested the efficiency of hydrolyzed corn protein in capturing adults of Lonchaea cristula Mc-Alpine (Díptera: Lonchaeidae), whose larvae cause the loss of floral buds in a cultivated passion flower, "Curuba de Castilla" (Passiflora mcilissima (H.B.K.) Bailey). Fieldwork was carried out in two fields or curuba located in Tenerife, the town of Cerrito, Valle del Cauca, at 2510 m (mean annual temperature 14, 1°C; relative humidity 75.2%). Four different solutions of Hydrolyzed corn protein were tested: 1) 10°/o solution with sugar; 2) 10°/o solution without sugar; 3) 5°/o solution with sugar; 4) 5°/o solution without sugar. Mc Phail traps were baited with these solutions. The traps were set out for three months; their contents were changed and examined every 15 days. Ninety-six percent of 22148 specimens captured belonged to the genus Lonchaea. The results show that Hydrolyzed corn protein a highly specific attractant for these insects. The highest numbers of capture were obtained with a 10% solution with sugar and 50/o solution without sugar.
