Abstract
ME- methyle eugenole and CL-cue lure are male fruit flies attracting pheromone. Genus Bactrocera has belongs to the order diptera and family tepritidae. Bactorcera species damage large quantity of peaches and persimmons in district swat. Total six species of genus Bactrocera reported in district swat, which had attracted to sex pheromone traps, Bactrocera zonata, B. invadanse, B. dorsalis complex attracted to Methyle eugenole while B. cucurbitae B. tau, B. scutellaris were attracted to Cue lure. Methyle eugenole showed more effectiveness than cue lure. Total 22672 numbers of species have collected in sex pheromone traps, 20001 were found in methyle eugenol and 2671 founded in CL- cue lure pheromones traps, in the duration of three months July, August and September. In the ME-methyl eugenol, the total number and percentage of B. zonata 8497 (42.48%), B. invadens 9643 (48.21%), B. cucurbitae 66 (0.32), B. dorsalis complex 1692 (8.45%), B. tau 46 (0.22%)and B. scutellaris 57 (0.28%). In ME-methyl eugenol traps, B. invadense (48.21%) and B. zonata (42.482%), had higher percentage while B. tau (0.22%) lower percentage. Total 2671 numbers of Bactrocera species founded in CL-cue lure traps duration of the 14-week of study, the numbers and percentage of B. zonata were 95 (3.556%), B. invadense 139 (5.204%), B. cucurbitae 1063 (39.797%), Bactrocera dorsalis complex 40 (1.497%), Bactrocera tau 457 (17.109%) and B. scutellaris 877 (32.834%). In CL-cue lure traps, B. cucurbitae percentage had maximum (39.797) while Bactrocera dorsalis complex percentage had minimum (1.497%). In the beginning of July Bactrocera zonata species numbers were most and the end of September B. invadense species number increased. Infestation ratio of species had more in persimmon than peach orchards during the course of three month, July, August and September. The temperature and humidity were also great effects on the numbers of Bactrocera species, in these numbers of Bactrocera zonata had more in Peach due to high temperature in seven weeks of July and August, while the numbers of Bactrocera invadense were more in persimmon orchards due to low temperature in seven weeks of August and September.
