Trapping methods for capturing the screwworm Telchin atymnius (Dalman, 1824) in plantain plantations (Musa AAB)

| description | The larval stage of the screwworm (Telchin atymnius) inflicts damage on the pseudostem and corm, allowing other pests and pathogens to affect the crop and decrease fruit yield and quality. The adults of these insects are attracted to certain colors and types of food, and their capture reduces oviposition and damage from future larvae. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of capturing adult individuals in plantain farms through two experiments: a) using traps with different colors (blue, white, and transparent) and b) using two types of traps (the most efficient color trap of the prior experiment and an artisanal trap). A completely randomized experimental design was used. The insects were recorded through counting, and their binomial negative, Poisson, and zero-inflated variations were utilized for data analysis. Furthermore, temperature and rainfall variables were included as statistical model parameters of the color trap experiment. The parameters were considered significant when P<0.05. The number of individuals captured with the blue and white traps were 2.84 and 1.38 times higher than the numbers captured with the transparent trap, respectively. In addition, there were 6.26 times more captures in months with higher temperatures compared to months with lower temperature. With the artisanal trap, there were 4.33 times more captures compared to the blue trap; it was also the cheapest trap. The use of blue traps (bags) with toxic bait or traps with molasses bait is a viable alternative for monitoring and capturing in the integrated management of the insect. |

El estado larval del gusano tornillo (Telchin atymnius) genera daños en pseudotallo y cormo del plátano, facilita entrada de plagas y patógenos y disminuye rendimiento y calidad del fruto. Estos insectos son atraídos por ciertos colores o tipo de alimento. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la eficacia de diferentes colores (azul, blanco y trasparente), y b) dos tipos de trampa (la trampa de color más eficiente del experimento previo y una trampa artesanal), la eficacia de captura de adultos del gusano tornillo. En ambos experimentos se utilizó un diseño experimental completamente aleatorizado; dado que los individuos se registraron mediante conteos, se implementaron modelos: binomial negativo, Poisson y sus variaciones inflados de ceros para el análisis. Adicionalmente, se incluyeron las variables temperatura y precipitación como parámetros del modelo estadístico del experimento de colores de trampa. Los parámetros se consideraron significativos cuando presentaron P<0,05. Para el análisis estadístico, se utilizó el programa SAS 9.4. La trampa azul y blanca tuvieron 2,84 y 1,38 veces más capturas que la trampa trasparente; y con el incremento en la temperatura se obtuvo 6,26 veces más capturas que en el mes con más baja temperatura. Con la trampa artesanal, se tuvo 4,33 veces más capturas que con la trampa azul; además, es la más económica. El uso de trampas (bolsas) azules con cebo tóxico o trampas artesanales con melaza como cebo, son una alternativa viable de monitoreo y captura dentro de un manejo integrado del insecto.
