Fruit flies (Bactrocera spp.) (Diptera: Tephritidae) are pests that cause significant losses in chili plants, with yield reductions up to 100%. Control using fig fruit nanoextract as an attractant is one environmentally friendly solution that can attract male fruit flies. Chili (Capsicum frutescens L) in Risa Village, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), is a superior commodity that often faces pest attacks. This study aims to examine nanogel extracts (ficus variegata) in controlling fruit fly attacks on chili plan. Thisstudy was conducted in Risa Village, Woha District, Bima Regency, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) and at the Integrated Pest Management Laboratory (IPM Lab), Faculty of Agriculture, Udayana University. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD). The Fig Fruit nanogel traps in Risa Village, Woha District, Bima Regency, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) captured two species of fruit flies, namely Bactrocera carambolae and Bactrocera umbrosa with a low diversity index. The highest catch of fig fruit nanogel was at 100% concentration (G5) with an average of (13.7 individuals). The relative abundance of B. carambolae was (34.05%) and B. umbrosa was (15.62%). The relationship between the trapped fruit fly imagoes and the fruit flies around the chili plants showed a linear relationship with an r-value of 0.9689. The relationship between the number of trapped imagoes and the percentage of attack also showed a linear relationship with an r-value of 0.9658.
