Effectiveness of traps and attractants in mass capture of Hypothenemus hampei in Sao Tome Island

In this sense, we studied the bio-ecology of the CBB, in particular the presence of immature stages and adult of CBB during the development of the coffee berry, and to quantify population levels, as well as CBB infestation, natural enemies and penetration rates inside developing coffee berries in six coffee plantations of CECAFEB located in three regions (Districts) and one in the Centre of Technological and Agricultural Investigation of Sao Tome and Principe-Experimental Base of Industrial Crops (CIAT/STP-BECI). We also evaluate attractants in home-made traps baited for mass capture of the CBB in three coffee plantations of CECAFEB located in two regions (Districts).
