Abstract:
Fruit flies are a major pest in chili, the need for environmentally friendly control techniques are highly desirable, especially effective and efficient, and easy to get one farmer is using restraint techniques petrogenol Steiner traps and pitfalls glumon to the level of a distinct yellow. The study aimed to determine the ability of the two types of traps with different heights in controlling fruit fly pests in cropping red chili (Capsicum annum L). This research has been carried out by using randomized block design (RBD) with 6 treatments and 4 groups, in order to obtain 24 units of the experiment. The treatments were performed in this experiment are: yellow traps glumon with a height of 100 cm, yellow traps glumon with a height of 150 cm, yellow traps glumon with a height of 200 cm, Steiner traps petrogenol with a height of 100 cm, Steiner traps petrogenol with a height of 150 cm and Steiner traps petrogenol with a height of 200 cm. Data were analyzed statistically by analysis of the range and tested further by Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at the level of 5%. The parameters measured were, identification of trapped fruit flies, the number of fruit flies trapped, the number of male fruit flies trapped, the number of fruit flies trapped females and sex ratio of fruit flies. The results showed a yellow trap glumon with a height of 100 cm is more effective fruit fly trap with average percentage ranged from 498.25 to 531.5 tails for 8 weeks observed.
