Özet

This study was carried out to determine the most appropriate trap design for monitoring Tropinota hirta (Poda, 1761) (Coleoptera: Cetoniidae) among the commonly used traps in the world during the 2018. For this purpose, cherry gardens with three different loc. Atabey district, İslamköy and Pembeli villages of Isparta province were selected and the adult catch rates of the known binary attractant mixture (cinnamyl alcohol (3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol) and transanethole [(1-methoxy-4-(1-propenyl) benzene)]) and white, light and dark blue color traps were compared with each other during the blooming period. As a result of the present study, the amount of adult catch of light blue color traps in the cherry blooming period was found to be significantly higher than the attractant and dark blue color traps which are regularly used in the world hence the use of this mentioned trap was found as the most effective biotechnical method for the controlling of T. hirta among the frequently used traps.
