Design of an ecologically-based IPM program for fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Tanzania.Abstract --Introduction. Studies to determine the pre-requisites for formulating an IPM program for fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) were conducted in the Morogoro region, Central Tanzania, from 2004 to 2006. Specifically, studies aimed at determining the biodiversity of fruit flies, and their incidence and abundance in the surveyed region. Materials and methods. Adult flies were collected using McPhail traps baited with parapheromones (methyl eugenol, trimedlure and cue lure) and synthetic food baits (hydrolyzed yeast and three-component lure). Flies were also collected from infested fruits after incubation in the laboratory. A total of four sites and neighboring areas representing the three agro-ecological zones of Morogoro region were used. Results. Two key fruit fly pests were determined based on incidence in major fruits and their seasonal abundance. The invasive fruit fly, Bactrocera invadens Drew, Tsuruta and White, is the key pest in the low and medium altitude areas. On the other hand, the Natal fruit fly, Ceratitis rosa Karsch, is the key frugivorous pest in the high altitude areas. Discussion. Management programs of fruit flies need to focus on key pests, taking into consideration their breeding in the non-agricultural habitats. Components of such a program should include the Male Annihilation Technique (MAT), legislation, use of parapheromones and baits, farm hygiene and sanitation, quarantine, surveillance and postharvest treatment. Résumé --Introduction. Des études visant à définir les préalables à la formulation d'un programme de lutte intégrée contre les mouches des fruits (Diptera : Tephritidae) ont été conduites dans la région de Morogoro, en Tanzanie centrale, de 2004 à 2006. Des études spécifiques ont cherché à déterminer la biodiversité existant parmi les populations de mouches des fruits, leur incidence et leur abondance dans la région prospectée. Matériel et méthodes. Des mouches adultes ont été collectées en utilisant des pièges McPhail amorcés avec des paraphéromones (eugénol méthylique, trimedlure et cue-lure) et des appâts synthétiques (levure hydrolysée et leurre à trois composants). Des mouches ont été également récupérées à partir de fruits infestés incubés en laboratoire. Quatre localités et leurs régions avoisinantes, représentant trois zones agro-écologiques de la région de Morogoro, ont été utilisées. Résultats. Deux espèces majeures de mouches des fruits ont été déterminées en se basant sur leur incidence sur les principaux fruits et sur leur abondance saisonnière. La mouche des fruits invasive, Bactrocera invadens Drew, Tsuruta and White, est le principal parasite trouvé dans les secteurs de basse et moyenne altitude. Par ailleurs, la mouche du Natal, Ceratitis rosa Karsch, est le principal parasite frugivore dans les secteurs de haute altitude. Discussion. Un programme de gestion des mouches des fruits devrait se concentrer sur les principaux parasites identifiés en prenant en con...

BACKGROUNDBactrocera dorsalis, oriental fruit fly (OFF), is one of the most destructive agricultural pests. Although bait sprays can effectively control OFF, resistance development has been a concern. We evaluated the oviposition deterrent activity of coconut free fatty acids (CFFA), a mixture of eight coconut oil‐derived fatty acids known to repel hematophagous insects and deter their feeding and oviposition, against OFF females.RESULTSIn laboratory 72‐h two‐choice assays using guava‐juice infused‐agar as an oviposition substrate, CFFA deterred OFF oviposition in a dose‐dependent manner with the greatest reduction of 87% at 20 mg dose compared to the control. When the eight CFFA components were tested individually, four compounds (caprylic, capric, oleic, and linoleic acids) significantly reduced OFF oviposition (‘negative‐compounds’), two (lauric and myristic acids) had no effect (‘neutral‐compounds’), and two (palmitic and stearic acids) stimulated OFF oviposition (‘positive‐compounds’). In two‐choice tests, the ‘negative‐compounds’ blend failed to elicit the same level of oviposition reduction as CFFA at equivalent concentrations found in CFFA. Adding the two ‘neutral‐compounds’ recovered the oviposition deterrence similar to CFFA. Subsequent subtraction tests showed that four ‘negative‐compounds’ plus lauric acid was as effective as CFFA in reducing OFF oviposition in guava‐juice agar. This five‐component key‐deterrent blend also reduced OFF oviposition by 95 and 72% on papaya and tomato fruit, respectively.CONCLUSIONCFFA acts as an oviposition deterrent for OFF. Given that CFFA compounds are generally regarded as safe for humans and the environment, CFFA and its bioactive components have potential use in behavioral control strategies against OFF. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
