Abstract

The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) (Diptera Tephritidae), is the key pest in olive orchards in Egypt. The effectiveness of processed kaolin (Super Nano), Bentonite and copper products ( Kocide 2000 & Nasr Copper) were tested for controlling olive fruit fly; field trials were conducted during the two years 2013-2014 of Matruoh Governorate, Egypt. The results indicated that Super Nano product in different concentrations suppressed olive fruit fly infestations. The high concentrations of kaolin reduced percentage of olive fruit fly infestations. The best concentration of Super Nano was 5 % but 3 & 4 % concentrations were more economic than 5%. Data showed that the concentrations 3%, 4% and 5% achieved more than 50 % of reduction percentage of olive fruit fly infestations ranged from 69.3% to 83.4% during 2013 & 2014. Results proved that the best concentration of bentonite treatment was 5 and 4 % for controlling the olive fruit fly over 3%, 2%, 1% and untreated control treatments. The high concentrations of bentonite (4 & 5%) reduced fruit infestation by (59.4, 54.8 & 72.3 %) and (46.9, 46.4 & 50.7), respectively. Bentonite product at 3 %, 2%, & 1% reduced the infestation by (34.3, 24.0 & 16.3 %). Also data cleared that copper hydroxide (Kocide 2000) was more than copper oxychloride  in controlling the olive fruit fly causing infestation  reduction by (55.9, 59.0 & 59.9 %) and (48.0, 52.8 & 58.5 %), respectively. In general Kaolin, Bentonite and copper products are effectively able to limit olive fruit fly infestations to a good level for olive production. These materials can be used also as a new tactic for IPM programs of olive fruit fly in olive fields.
