“…In order to monitor the wild population in the four treatments, one Phase IV EXA ® trap (Better Word Manufacturing, Fresno, CA, USA) baited with BioLure Unipack (Suterra/AgriSence, Glamorgan, UK) was installed for each 4 ha. The activity of this attractant lasts 120 days under field conditions (Peñarrubia‐María et al., ). The traps were checked each week and the inserts with insects were transferred for identification to the laboratory of the Centro de Operaciones del Altiplano Central of the Moscamed Program in Chimaltenango Department.…”

This study reports the pathogenicity of three formulations of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin (Hypocreales) – Bb‐ET, GHA, and Bb‐AES – and their application in panel‐type and cylinder‐type autoinoculation devices, and using sterile males as vectors for the control of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) in coffee‐producing areas of the Central Highlands of Guatemala. Using sterile adults of C. capitata under laboratory bioassays, mean lethal concentrations (LC50) of 1.4 × 107, 2.4 × 106, and 8.2 × 105 conidia ml−1, and median survival times of 4.1 ± 0.1, 4.2 ± 0.1, and 3.8 ± 0.1 days, were recorded for the strains GHA, Bb‐AES, and Bb‐ET, respectively. These values indicate that the three strains were sufficiently pathogenic and that their period of biological activity was considered adequate for using sterile flies as vectors of the inoculum. Observed percentages of sporulated wild C. capitata flies were 57.3, 44.7, and 44.3% for sterile fly vectors, panel devices, and cylinder devices, respectively. The total population reduction at the end of the study period was over 90% for the three treatments. Our results show that sterile males used as vectors or disseminator devices may represent a new control method for area‐wide integrated management of Mediterranean fruit flies. The potential of this new approach and its integration with other control methods, including the sterile insect technique, is discussed.

“…The tephritrap and the others thereof complement the inverted funnel with small circular windows at mid‐height. It was considered one of the most efficient trap in catching tephritid fruit with liquid baits . However, these reports have mentioned several issues with tephritraps, including the large number of non‐target insects caught, as well as escape of target insects .…”

BACKGROUND Small‐scale farmers often take a double hit from pests such as tephritid fruit‐flies. The high price of products against fruit‐flies, together with the higher risk of reinfestation from neighboring orchards, limits options for control. Therefore, management requires low‐cost local products and concerted action. Peach production in central Bolivia is increasingly affected by invasive Ceratitis capitata. To provide locally sustainable techniques that could incentivize area‐wide cooperation of growers, we tested efficiency and specificity of low‐cost lures and traps compared with commercial lures and traps (Tephritrap). RESULTS In the laboratory, the local fermented beverage ‘chicha’ and baker's yeast were equally or more attractive than commercial lures. Both chicha and baker's yeast trapped more flies in field (average FTD 10.31 and 9.49), whereas commercially hydrolyzed protein lure (4.71) or Torula yeast (6.82). However, many non‐target species were caught (57.3% and 53.4%). Of the six PET bottles‐based traps used, the T‐trap caught a similar number of flies (average FTD 5.55), but fewer beneficial insects (0.16) compared to the Tephritrap (0.92). CONCLUSIONS This study provides fruit growers with an economical and effective method to capture large numbers of C. capitata, suitable to be part of integrated pest management programs for fruit fly control. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Although this differentiation may confer an advantage to polyphagous insects, host selection does not occur without any costs because highly polyphagous females commonly oviposit in species that allow only low larval performance (Aluja & Mangan 2008). Ceratitis capitata provides a good example; it is considered to be one of the most polyphagous pests, as it infests approximately 300 species of fruit, including Citrus species (Rutaceae) (Peñarrubia-María et al 2014).…”

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are considered to be one of the principal groups of pests in fruit culture worldwide. The objective of this study was to investigate oviposition by Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) and Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) in citrus fruits and to assess the development of these species in relation to the maturity of orange fruits. The experiments were carried out under controlled temperature conditions (25 ± 2 °C), RH (70 ± 10%), and photoperiod (12:12 h L:D). Oviposition was evaluated by exposure (with and without choice) to fruits of 'Navelina'orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck], 'Clemenules' tangerine (C. reticulata Blanco), and 'Siciliano' lemon [C. limon (L.)] (Rutaceae). Insect development was studied on Navelina orange at 4 stages of maturity (I: 5 cm in diameter, II: 6 to 7 cm in diameter, III: skin with color change, and IV: yellow-orange skin). We evaluated oviposition by counting the number of eggs, and we assessed biological parameters of the immature and adult stages. The number of eggs deposited in orange and tangerine by both fruit fly species did not differ significantly, and oviposition did not occur in lemon. Anastrepha fraterculus preferred to oviposit in tangerine fruits, whereas C. capitata showed preference for orange fruits. Development from egg to adult by A. fraterculus and C. capitata occurred only in stage IV oranges, and required 30.9 and 31.0 d, respectively. Females of A. fraterculus and C. capitata developing in mature orange fruits produced a mean of 378.7 and 183.5 eggs, respectively.
