520 _aFruit flies comprise a major threat to fruit and vegetable production. Current control methods have been found to offer some negative effects during the management of fruit fly. This study was conducted to determine the status of using protein hydrolyzed bait and to identify its effectiveness in the sustainable fruit fly management in Thailand. A base line survey was conducted for field level information in the Nakhonphathom province. A laboratorial experiment was conducted to compare the effectiveness of protein baits at Plant Protection Research and Development Office, Department of Agriculture, Bangkhen, Thailand. Prima protein bait from Malaysia combined with malathion (MPBM), protein bait from Department of Agriculture, Thailand combined malathion (TPBM), Malathion alone were tested together with a control (water only) for their effectiveness in controlling fruit fly, time suitability and sex attraction. The survey revealed that farmers mainly use chemical insecticides on a scheduler basis, and double layer bagging for controlling fruit fly infestation in fruits and vegetables. Although, crop sanitation is practiced, it has not been focused on fruit fly control. Bagging reduces the fruit fly population, but protein bait has never been used. Laboratory study showed that number of dead fruit flies was significantly higher in Malaysian protein bait (MPBM) and Thailand protein bait (TPBM) when combined with malation, and malathion alone compared to control, but not significantly different among the three treatments. The number of dead fruit flies (B. dorsalis) was highest in MPBM than the other two, in the first hour after application and then decrease as time elapsed. MPBM was more attractive to females than males, but TPBM and control had equal attraction of both males and females.
