Pestman Group and ZheJiang China International Blueberry Research Institute cooperated to test Pestman vinegar fly attractant. According to the requirements of the blueberry research institute, we surveyed the local topography and plant status, and investigated the harm of local fruit flies. We designed the targeted prevention and control scheme, arranged the attractant scientifically in the blueberry plantation.
The blueberry plantation used its own ordinary yellow board traps and pheromone traps to control fruit flies, but the effect was not satisfactory. The staff in reach institute told us that their yellow board traps had been hanging for one year. After analysis, we found that most of the insects on the yellow board traps were mealworms, as well as a few mosquitoes, flies. Fruit flies are not particularly sensitive to yellow color, so using ordinary yellow board trap to control fruit flies in blueberry plantation is not very effective.
