Adults of apple maggot fly Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) of differing physiological states were marked and released in blocks of apple trees ringed by sticky red spheres. Spheres were either unbaited, baited with butyl hexanoate (synthetic host fruit odour) or baited with both butyl hexanoate and ammonium carbonate (synthetic food odour). All trap and lure treatments were compared in the presence or absence of food (bird faeces) in the blocks. Simultaneously, the response of wild immigrant flies to treatments was measured and wild females were dissected to determine state of ovary development. Large proportions (25-40%) of released mature male and female R. pomonella were recovered in blocks having traps baited with butyl hexanoate. Ammonium carbonate did not enhance trap captures and presence of food had little effect on response to synthetic odours by mature R. pomonella. Immature flies of each sex responded weakly to traps and to both types of synthetic lures and may have been arrested in blocks having food. Wild flies of both sexes exhibited a response pattern very similar to mature released flies, regardless of eggload (in the case of wild females). Results indicate that wild R. pomonella immigrating into apple orchards are primarily mature, and not hungry for protein. Behavioural control strategies are discussed in that context.
