A general lack of correlation between trap catches and fruit infestation is a notable trend in SWD research [ 16 ].

Given the marginally significant effect of treatment on the extent of infestation in the 2022 MD field test, we conducted the 2023 field tests using 300% more MB dispensers and 50% more traps to determine if a greater amount of push and pull stimuli could further reduce SWD infestation.

Our data produced an unexpected trend between the level of pest damage and the push–pull effects, with overall infestation rates of 14% indicating no significant effect, 32% revealing a marginally significant effect, and 71% exhibiting a highly significant effect ( Figure 3 , Table 3 ).

Statistical significance was considered at α = 0.05, though marginal significance was considered at α = 0.1, and a result was considered highly significant at α = 0.01. 3.2.
