Science - Botany / insecticides
Spanish term or phrase: cebo
This is from an interview with Spanish farmers asking about the benefits of particular types of pesticides/insecticides.

The farmer has been using the word "cebo" to describe a type of insecticide against fruit flies that can be applied in bands or broadcast, but then he keeps using the word "cebo" in a variety of ways. My research indicates that "cebo" can be used to mean "bait" but I just don't feel like that's appropriate here. Here are some use examples:

"dinos qué ventaja tienen tener un producto que se aplica a 100 centímetros cúbicos por hectárea independientemente del volumen de caldo a tratar con la técnica de cebo."

"¿Qué te parece el concepto de [product name] cebo para el tratamiento de los cítricos?"

And then goes on to describe spraying the product.

Any suggestions?

bait
Explanation:
Bait seems the appropriate term here.

Reduce populations: If fruit flies are present in your field prior to your crop ripening, reduce their population by baiting the adults to a poisoned area. This can be done by spraying a protein bait/insecticide mixture onto nearby plants or wind-breaks, or onto a planted corn crop border (flies gather on the silks). Farmers and researchers have observed reduction of melon flies in zucchini, cucumber, and watermelon fields using bait sprays on border crops....

Bait spray: In fruit fly infested areas, a protein hydrolysate compound, such as Nu-lure or Staley's fly bait, can be combined with insecticide and applied to plants that are associated with the resting and feeding areas of the adults rather than on the crop to be protected. Bait sprays use small amounts of chemical and are not attractive to parasites.

  -> Thanks, Neil, good to have your input on this one. After reading up a little about attractants, are they not slightly different concepts? I read one article that refers to bait as "attractant+insecticide".

  -> Thanks, Lisa.

agree  John Speese: I agree, quite a few insecticides that also contain attractants or baits have been and still are around. See this article (http://www.aces.edu/pubs/docs/A/ANR-1026/index2.tmpl), which mentions ADIOS, which is such an insecticide.
