TORULA YEAST PELLETS FOR McPHAIL TRAPS
BACKGROUND AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Fruit flies, in particular Mediterranean (Medfly) and Mexican (Mexfly) fruit flies, are some of the most serious exotic plant pests threatening United States agriculture.
Torula yeast pellets are used to capture certain species of exotic fruit flies of concern to the U.S.
agriculture. The torula yeast pellets is a primary detection tool used to delimit, survey the extent of the Mexfly infestation, and to manage introduced fruit fly populations. Without these torula yeast baits, defining the infestation might not be possible. The ultimate cost to live with these pests to the United States, the United States Department of Agriculture and the citrus industry could exceed millions of dollars if not eradicated or managed.
