Due to the importance of this pest, monitoring its population is the starting point for any control program; however, there is no early monitoring plan within management tasks, nor are there studies on behavior, the optimization of traps, or their baits. This research proposes the evaluation of a monitoring system with encapsulated baits and adhesive traps that allow effective control. The encapsulated bait was selected after evaluating three options in olfactometric tests in the laboratory; the most attractive bait was WVM, with 70% of visits to the stimulus and 30% to its control, unlike SAG I and SAG II, whose values did not exceed 40% attraction. Among the expected results is the availability of a new format of attractive bait for SWD with a better release rate over time, and the information obtained will allow the generation of SWD population curves for the area, which is essential for decision-making. This study will contribute from the perspective of nanomaterials, insect biology, agricultural entomology, and pest monitoring. 2025-03-16T12:42:12Z 2025-03-16T12:42:12Z 2025 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Insects, 2025, 16(1), 13. 2075-4450 https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/75346 10.3390/insects16010013 13 1 30 Insects 16 2075-4450 eng https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4450/16/1/13 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ © 2024 The authors Atribución 4.0 Internacional
