Abstrakt: Different color sticky traps are being used as monitoring and management tool for the population of many insect pests on crop plants. The current study was carried out in mango orchard, District Tando Allahyar from Nov. 2011- May, 2012 was conducted to determine the color attraction and impact of sticky traps on the population of D. mangiferae. The results revealed that 8 arthropod species including three mango pests namely mite, mango mealy bug (MMB) and mango hoppers were attracted to the color traps. The catches of male adults on traps were recorded from April to May, 2012. The yellow, green and blue sticky traps caught 200, 81and 21 males of MMB, respectively. The traps installed on Sindhri variety had maximum catches (121) of male as compared to Sonaro (58), Chaunsa (52) and Langra (45). Male traps had significant impact on female fecundity. Only 60% females laid their eggs, which were collected from the branches of BSTs and GSTs, respectively. While only 30% females of YST laid their eggs. However, only 20, 30 and 10 percent females laid >100 eggs by the females collected from blue, green and yellow traps, respectively. It was concluded that YSTs effectively captured the adult males as a result majority of females went down the tree without mating. The females laid less than 100 or no egg may be due to parthenogenetic mode of reproduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
