The Use of Novel Alginate Capsules in a Monitoring System for <i>Drosophila suzukii</i> in a Cherry Orchard in the Region of La Araucanía, Chile

Spotted wing drosophila (SWD) is a pest that causes damage due to the female laying eggs under the skin of ripe fruit, from which a larva emerges, causing its collapse and reducing its commercial value. Due to the importance of this pest, monitoring its population is the starting point for any contr...

description Spotted wing drosophila (SWD) is a pest that causes damage due to the female laying eggs under the skin of ripe fruit, from which a larva emerges, causing its collapse and reducing its commercial value. Due to the importance of this pest, monitoring its population is the starting point for any control program; however, there is no early monitoring plan within management tasks, nor are there studies on behavior, the optimization of traps, or their baits. This research proposes the evaluation of a monitoring system with encapsulated baits and adhesive traps that allow effective control. The encapsulated bait was selected after evaluating three options in olfactometric tests in the laboratory; the most attractive bait was WVM, with 70% of visits to the stimulus and 30% to its control, unlike SAG I and SAG II, whose values did not exceed 40% attraction. Among the expected results is the availability of a new format of attractive bait for SWD with a better release rate over time, and the information obtained will allow the generation of SWD population curves for the area, which is essential for decision-making. This study will contribute from the perspective of nanomaterials, insect biology, agricultural entomology, and pest monitoring.
