Figures & Tables

Figure 1:

Relative attraction of CBB (parasitized with Metaparasitylenchus hypothenemi and non-parasitized) to 14 light wavelengths compared to the control (570 nm). The asterisk-labeled treatment was statistically different to the control using the χ2 test (P = 0.01). Relative attraction (%) was calculated using the number of borers that chose the treatment and control, applying the formula: [(treatment) (100) / (treatment + control)].

Response of coffee berry borer females (parasitized by Metaparasitylenchus hypothenemi and uninfected) attracted by 14 different wavelengths (nm) compared to the control (570 nm) inside a T-shaped olfactometer_ The frequency of response (n=50) to each treatment and control was compared using a square Chi test_
