Due to the importance of this pest, monitoring its populationis the starting point for any control program; however, there is no early monitoring planwithin management tasks, nor are there studies on behavior, the optimization of traps, ortheir baits. This research proposes the evaluation of a monitoring system with encapsulatedbaits and adhesive traps that allow effective control. The encapsulated bait was selectedafter evaluating three options in olfactometric tests in the laboratory; the most attractivebait was WVM, with 70% of visits to the stimulus and 30% to its control, unlike SAG Iand 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 overtime, and the information obtained will allow the generation of SWD population curvesfor the area, which is essential for decision-making. This study will contribute from theperspective of nanomaterials, insect biology, agricultural entomology, and pest monitoring.
