Abstract

the present work was carried out to describe a new innovation of a simple detachable olfactometer for measuring the olfactory responses of fruit flies to different odors. Such device may be useful to discover the efficiency of current attractive or repellent odors or new odors that could be used for controlling fruit flies in fields. It could save effort, time and money required to investigate any new attractive or repellent material prior usage in the field Many experiments were conducted to standardize this device using the standard attractive material " Buminal " . These trials included determination of optimum concentration of test odor, optimum dose to test, velocity of air flow inside device, optimum number of flies that could be used in every test, optimum light intensity, best exposure time to test material and relationship between response of flies to test odor and temperature.
