 Abstract
Abdullah, S.I and K.Th. Fandy. 2006. Effect of some Attractive Bait Traps and Independent Factors in Population Density
of Fig Fly Fruit Silba virescence (Macq.) (Lonchidae: Diptera) in Nineveh Province - Iraq. Arab J. Pl. Prot. 24: 41-44.
The study was carried out at a fig orchard contains two fig varieties, i.e. Northern Banati and Turkish black, at Al-Qubba village in
Rashidyia, during the period from April to December 2000, to test the effect of six types of attraction bait traps and independent factors on
population density of fig fly fruit Silba virescence (Macq.). The traps were hung at three different heights (1.5, 2 and 2.5 m). Results indicated
the efficiency of two types; the fourth type (date honey and water at a proportion of 1:9) and the fifth type comprising a mixture of sugar (10%)
and date vinegar (30%), both attracted an average of 43.2 and 45.1 fly/trap, respectively. The control trap type 6, containing water only, was the
least attractive 0.9 fly/trap. As for the traps height, the height 2.5m attracted an average 34.3 fly/trap. The Turkish black proved to be more
susceptible to infestation by the fly than the second variety (Northern Banati) (34.2 and 14.0%, respectively). The calculated mathematical
equation of the effect of independent factors (temperature, relative humidity and wind speed) on the population density of the fly have shown
positive and direct effect of temperature and wind speed on the vitality of the fly on one hand and the negative effect and an inverse
relationship with relative humidity.
Key words: Fig fruit flies, Silba virescence, bait traps, Iraq.
