Abstract—This work aimed to study the attractiveness activity of the mixture of α-ionol and α-ionone in farmer field. The results showed the absence of Bactrocera latifrons but Bactrocera caudata were collected from the traps. The highest attractiveness is formula 4 that mixed with α-ionol and α-ionone is 7:3 and these activity were decreased after week. The other mixture of isophorol and isophorone were compared with α-ionol and α-ionone mixture in chilli field. The mixture of α-ionol and α-ionone gave attractiveness higher than the mixture of isophorol and isophorone. The optimum ratio of α-ionol and α-ionone is 9:1 while the optimum ratio of isophorol and isophorone is 0:10.
