This study was carried out to determine the most suitable height and trap colour for catching Tropinota (Epicometis) hirta (Poda) (Coleoptera: Cetoniidae) adults in Extreme July and Glohaven peach varieties in Çanakkale province. For this purpose, the basin traps (35 x25 x15 cm), painted with hexadecimal coded colours (# B4C8E1, # C4D5E3, # A6CDE3, # 4D9AC9 and # 05467A) 1/3 water was filled into basins to prevent adults of T. hirta, the lures (Trans-Anethol + Cinnamyl Alcohol, 1: 1) attached to the fixing ropes that were passed over the basins and with a distance of 10 meters between the two trees in the same rows were placed on the ground (0 cm), 50 and 100 cm high. The experiment was established on 01.03.2019 with 2 repetitions according to the random blocks trial pattern and adults caught into traps per two days were counted until May 5th. In both peach varieties, the number of adult traps caught at the sampling dates were compared based on the same and different heights (P <0.05). During the sampling period, in the traps of Extreme July and Glohaven peach cultivars were caught 1461 and 802 individuals of T. hirta adults in traps, respectively. First adults were captured in the traps before the blooming period of peach trees on 02.03.2019 and on March 18 and 20, when flowering reached 100%, the number of adults trapped reached the highest level in Extreme July and Glohaven variety, respectively. The examined #B4C8E1, #C4D5E3, #A6CDE3, #4D9AC9 ve #05467A coded blue colour traps at three heights in during flowering period of Extreme July and Glohaven varieties were caught 298, 259, 286, 382, 236 and 169, 105, 149, 247, 133 adults of T. hirta respectively. Also, in Extreme July and Glohaven cultivars 449, 630, 377 and 213, 346, 241 adults were recorded in the traps at the heights of 0 cm, 50 cm and 110 cm, respectively. The difference between the average number of T. hirta adults caught daily in traps at three heights in both peach varieties was found statistically significant (P <0.05). Most T. hirta adults were caught with the trap # 4D9AC9 on the ground (0 cm) and 50 cm high, in Extreme July and Glohaven peach cultivars, respectively.
