    • Notes: This study was conducted to demonstrate the effects of sprayable synthetic sex pheromone on P. ficus population densities and crop damage for the first time in Türkiye. For this purpose, pest monitored using delta traps (Suterra 541-388-3688) baited with the vine mealybug sex pheromone (baited with a rubber septum lure loaded with 100 mg of the racemic pheromone) and pest damage was evaluated on bunches at the harvest time. http://dx.doi.org/10.16970/entoted.1819532
