| Summary: | In this study, the trapping effect of light blue traps suspended in the cherry garden and also in four different directions was determined by using attractants of Tropinota hirta (Poda, 1761) (Coleoptera: Cetoniidae), which cause economic damage on the flowers of cherry trees. Traps with attractants and water beneath them are located in the outer part of the garden and on tree branches in all directions; It was hanged 1.5 m above the ground, on the stretched wire attached to the poles in the middle of a row in the garden and on only one branch of the trees in the interior of the garden. The number of adults coming to these traps and the number of flowers on the same trees were recorded and they were compared with the number of flowers on the trees that were not hung. As a result, the number of adult insects caught in traps hung on wires in the garden was higher. The number of intact flowers on all the trap-hung trees was higher than on the trees in the controls. In addition, as a result of hanging the traps on the trees, the rate of shedding of the adult insects on the flowers on the trees was higher. |
