Abstract:		"Drosophila suzukii is one of the main pests of small fruits in the world. An effective monitoring is fundamental to detect the presence of the fly and to predict the infestation of fruits in new areas. We evaluated the food baits Ceratrap(R), Torula(R), Biofruit(R), Suzukii Trap(R), apple cider vinegar, and a homemade mixture comprising wine, vinegar and molasses (WVM) for D. suzukii attractiveness, and if reproductive stage affects females attraction and capture in the different baits. Bait selectivity of non-target insects was assessed. The preference of adults between ripe blackberry fruit and the food baits was also evaluated. Adults showed a higher attraction (61.97% of the captured insects) to the WVM mixture than to Ceratrap(R) (1.32%), Torula(R) (0.52%), Biofruit(R) (13.15%), Suzukii Trap(R) (17.6%), and apple vinegar (5.4%). Considering the attractiveness to D. suzukii, Suzukii Trap(R) and apple vinegar were the most selective to non-target insects. In general, reproductively immature females showed a preference for Biofruit(R), apple vinegar, and WVM, whereas mature females did not show bait preferences. Adults preferred ripe blackberry fruit over the WVM mixture. Understanding the field behavior of D. suzukii is of foremost importance to estimate insect population density and outline pest management strategies"
