Abstract
The objective of this work were to evaluate the population fluctuation of the sour passion fruit flower bud fly and the efficiency of yellow sticky traps in the capture of the pest at different heights from the soil level. In the 2017/18 season, yellow sticky traps were installed at different heights (1 and 2m) adjacent to sour passion fruit orchards, of one to two hectares, located in different producing municipalities of the State of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil. The yellow sticky traps were efficient in catching the pest, being the height of 2m the most representative. The pest peak population occurred in November and the municipalities with the highest pest infestation were Araquari and Sombrio, in Santa Catarina and Torres, Rio Grande do Sul. Further studies are needed so that a level of control can be recommended from the number of captured flies / trap / period.
