“…Over 260 species of insects and mites have been recorded as pests of mango worldwide (Peña et al 1998, Waite 2002 Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), is a pest of a wide range of fruit in Asia and is ripening fruit, and larvae burrow into the pulp. Fully grown larvae exit the fruit, usually after it has fallen to the ground, and pupate in the soil.…”

Neotropical Entomology 36(2): 161-179 (2007) Controle Microbiano de Artrópodes-Praga em Fruteiras Tropicais RESUMO -Muitos insetos e ácaros atacam fruteiras nos trópicos. O método tradicional para controlar a maioria dessas pragas é a aplicação de inseticidas químicos. A crescente preocupação sobre os efeitos negativos desses produtos vem encorajando o desenvolvimento de alternativas. Agentes do controle biológico aplicados de forma inundativa ou inoculativa têm sido pesquisados como método de controle alternativo para uma variedade de pragas em grande número de culturas, incluindo fruteiras tropicais. A maioria das pesquisas e aplicações em fruteiras tropicais tem sido feita em citros, insetos. Em banana, o controle do moleque-da-bananeira, Cosmopolites sordidus Germar (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) com nematóides e fungus também é considerado de sucesso. Oryctes rhinoceros (L.) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) é uma das principais pragas em côco e um dos mais importantes exemplos de controle biológico clássico por vírus não-ocluso. As pragas-chave em manga que têm sido controladas com diferentes agentes de controle microbiano são as moscas-das-frutas (Diptera: Tephritidae), com nematóides e fungos, o gorgulho-da-manga, Sternochetus mangiferae (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), com fungos, e vários hemípteros com fungo. O controle microbiano de a maior aplicabilidade dessas tecnologias é o desenvolvimento de combinações compatíveis entre entomopatógenos, predadores e parasitóides juntamente com outras técnicas de controle. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Bactéria, vírus, fungo, nematóideABSTRACT -A multitude of insects and mites attack fruit crops throughout the tropics. The traditional method for controlling most of these pests is the application of chemical pesticides. Growing concern on the negative environmental effects has encouraged the development of alternatives. Inundatively and inoculatively applied microbial control agents (virus, bacteria, fungi, and entomopathogenic nematodes) have been developed as alternative control methods of a wide variety of arthropods including tropical fruit pests. The majority of the research and applications in tropical fruit agroecosystems has been conducted in citrus, banana, coconut, and mango. Successful microbial control initiatives of citrus pests and mites have been reported. Microbial control of arthropod pests of banana includes banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus Germar (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (with EPNs and fungi) among others Oryctes rhinoceros (L.) is one of the most important pests of coconut and one of the most successful uses of non-occluded virus for classical biological control. Key pests of mango that have fungi), and other pests. Also successful is the microbial control of arthropod pests of guava, papaya and pineapple. The challenge towards a broader application of entomopathogens is the development of successful combinations of entomopathogens, predators, and parasitoids along with other interventions to produce effective and sustainable pest management.

“…Higher fruit fly was recorded in mid and early September whereas lesser fruit fly was recorded in mid December which was at par with both early December and March. The fruit flies larvae feed on the pulp of ripe fruits forming tunnels inside them causing a great damage and make fruits unfavorable [19]B. zonata causing a significant damage in number of fruit species.…”

Studies were carried out for comparison of local fruit fly attractant with imported attractants, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during 2010 and 2011. The trials were conducted in three different localities in different orchards i.e Swat (Peach orchards), Charsada (Bitter gourd) and Kohat (Guava orchards). The experiment was consisted of different attractants i.e. Methyl Eugenol (M.E), Cue Lure (C.L) and protein based product locally developed (PPr-Product) for efficient management of Tephritid species in the field in modified McPhill traps. The trials were laid out in randomized complete block design replicated three times. Findings showed that significant variation was recorded for the captured of fruit flies among different attractants and observational dates in guava, peach and bitter gourd orchards. Methyl eugenol trapped more fruit flies as compared PPr-Product and C.L trap in Guava and Peach orchards whereas higher number of fruit flies was captured by PPr-Product as compared to both C.L and M.E traps in bitter gourd orchards. Higher capture of B. zonata and B. dorsalis in guava and peach orchards was recorded by M.E whereas C.L attracted more B. cucuribitae as compared to M.E traps for Peach, Guava and Bitter gourd orchards. More numbers of B. zonata and B. dorsalis captured by PPr-Product in Bitter gourd. The highest trapped fruit flies in Peach orchards were recorded in mid September. For Bitter gourd orchards, the fruit fly capture increased from March to 1 st September and the highest peak of its species were in September. For Guava orchards, the fruit fly trapped population and its species increased till 1 st July and then decreased thereafter. The PPr-Product traps were found more effective against all three types of female adults flies whereas M.E traps captured more male adults of B. Zonata and B. dorsalis while C.L captured more male adults of B. cucurbitae in Peach, Bitter gourd and Guava orchards. The highest capture of female adults of the three species was obtained by PPr-Product in Guava and Peach orchards.

“…Nearly eighteen species of leafhoppers have been reported as pests of mango in the world (Viraktamath, 1989). Among these, five species belonging to the subfamily Idiocerinae; Idioscopus clypealis (Lethierry), I. niveosparsus (Lethierry) [now I. nitidulus (Walker)], I. nagpurensis (Pruthi), Amritodus atkinsoni (Lethierry) and Amritodus brevistylus Viraktamath are the most important leafhopper pests of mango (Viraktamath, 1989;Pena et al, 1998). Others include, Amrascas plendens, Busoniomimus manjunathi, Idioscopus decoratus, I. dworakowskae and I. spectabilis which have been reported to feed on mango (Viraktamath and Viraktamath, 1995).…”
