Place the hanger through the hole, present in the trap cap.
Lock the hanger by twist and press.
Take the lure from the pack, place it in the “C” curve, fix by rotating
Twist the hanger sideways and fix to the branches of tree or any appropriate place.
- Hang the trap above 3-5 ft height from the ground level preferably under the shade and firmly fix the Trap.
- In case of prolonged harvest, replace the old lure after 45 days with a “NEW LURE”.
- When the trap is full of flies, remove the flies, bury 1ft below the ground or burn.
- Egg-Laying Marks: Female Bactrocera cucurbitae flies pierce the skin of vegetables to lay their eggs. These marks are visible as small punctures or depressions on the vegetable surface.
- Premature Vegetable Drop: Infested vegetables often drop prematurely from the plant. This symptom is a common indicator of Bactrocera cucurbitae infestation and can lead to significant crop losses.
- Discoloration of Vegetables: The larvae feeding inside the vegetables cause discoloration, which is a sign of internal damage and decay.
- Maggot Presence: A clear sign of infestation is the presence of larvae or maggots inside the vegetables. Cutting open infested vegetables typically reveals these larvae feeding on the flesh.
- Decay and Rotting of Vegetables: Continued feeding by larvae creates conditions that promote decay, resulting in rotting vegetables.
- Oozing Fluids: In some cases, infested vegetables may ooze fluids or sap, indicating internal feeding damage.
- Hollowed Vegetables: The larvae consume the flesh inside the vegetables, leaving them hollow.
- Secondary Infections: The punctures made by egg-laying females and feeding larvae can allow entry for other pathogens, leading to secondary infections. These may manifest as additional discoloration, rot, or the presence of molds or other pests.
- Vegetable Deformity: Depending on the stage of development during infestation, larvae feeding may cause deformities in the shape and size of the vegetables.
- Reduced Crop Yield: A significant symptom of Bactrocera cucurbitae infestation is a reduction in crop yield, as many vegetables become infested and unmarketable.
