Fruit fly (Bactrocera spp.) is a major pest of horticultural crops, especially fruits. Fruit fly larvae feed on the flesh of fruit, and cause the decrease of both quantity and quality of the production. Fruit fly species on certain fruit in an area is important to be identified to make a right decision in choosing the control methods. The objectives of this study were to identify the fruit fly species, and determine the dominant species and diversity index of fruit flies on mangoes Gedong Gincu, Cengkir, and Arumanis at Kecamatan Talun, Kabupaten Cirebon, Indonesia. The survey was carried out by collecting samples of mango fruit attacked by fruit flies from field, wholesaler, and retailer at Kecamatan Talun. The results showed that there were four species that attack mangoes Gedong Gincu, Cengkir, and Arumanis at Kecamatan Talun, namely B. dorsalis; B. carambolae; interspesific hybrids of B. carambolae and B. dorsalis; and B. albistrigata. The dominant species was B. dorsalis. Diversity index (H’) of fruit fly species was 0,05 ≤ H’ ≤ 0,48 (H’ < 1,5), so that the diversity was considered low.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
