“…These differences may be due to a type of irradiator cells, methodology of assay, genus of flies, age of irradiated pupae, as well as fitness of laboratory strains tested. Mean sterility doses also differ among families of Diptera ranging from 20-160 Gy (Bakri et al 2005), but tephritids have relatively homogeneous sensitivity to gamma irradiation, with most major pest species requiring < 100 Gy to achieve suitably high levels of sterility (Bakri et al 2005). As mentioned above for B. zonata, based on anatomical observations of radiation effects on male gonads, a dose range between Values followed by the same letter within a row are not significantly different at the 5% level (Tukey's HSD test); 2 Number of evaluated adults for a particular dose was: n = 500 × adult emergence/100 60 and 90 Gy is considered sub-sterilizing and sterilizing (Shehata et al 2006).…”

“…The aim of SIT is to reduce the growth rate of target population by saturating wild females with released massreared sterilised males (Knipling 1955). Gamma irradiation is currently the most common method used to sterilize mass reared males for SIT (Bakri et al 2005) and effectiveness of SIT depends greatly on the production of good quality sterile males that are released into target wild populations. To ensure that released males are effective at inducing reproductive failure in their mates, it is important that irradiation procedures achieve an adequate level of sterility.…”

Mahmoud M.F., Barta M., 2011. Effect of gamma radiation on the male sterility and other quality parameters of peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) (Diptera: Tephritidae). Hort. Sci. (Prague), 38: 54-62.Bactrocera zonata, a serious pest of fruits in many parts of the world, has recently been recorded in Northern Africa. Even though it has not been introduced to the European continent yet, a strong emphasis is being placed on developing effective measures to suppress this pest and to prevent it from establishing in neighbouring European countries. The sterile insect technique is widely used in integrated programmes against tephritid fruit flies and, in this paper, quality parameters of irradiated B. zonata were evaluated for possible use of sterile insect technique within the management of this pest. Pupae were irradiated ( 60 Co) 48 h before adult emergence (in an air atmosphere) with doses of 10, 30, 50, 70 or 90 Gy. While adult emergence and egg hatch decreased with increasing dose, no significant differences in female fecundity were found among doses. Exposure of pupae to 90 Gy resulted in a total sterility of eggs laid by non-treated females crossed with treated males. Only insignificant difference in the radiation effect on female fecundity was found. Moderate effects on sex ratio and size were recorded, as they decreased gradually by increasing doses. No considerable effect on flying capability was observed, but generally, the percentage of fliers decreased with increasing radiation doses. Fried's competitiveness values of treated males (30 and 70 Gy) suggest that irradiated males compete successfully with non-irradiated ones.

“…These are controlled generally by applying pesticides but these pesticides cause lot of environmental concerns and also on human health (Gill and Garg, 2014) moreover the fruit flies have attain resistance against pesticides (Van Steenwyck et al, 1975) so the focus is now diverting towards other control practices in which sterilization using radiation is an important tool. Nuclear techniques are already being practically applied convincingly in various areas of entomology (Bakri et al, 2005). These are used against the different insect pest for suppressing the activity of insects ( Faruki et al, 2005).…”

Fruit flies are regarded as one of the most devastating pest of fruits and vegetables on earth planet. Generally chemical control is implemented for their control but it poses lot of eco-environmental concerns so the emphasis is now turning towards eco-friendly management practices. Bio-control is an efficient and environmentally sound approach and augmentation is primarily focus on classical biological control program. In this study, eight sub-sterilizing doses of 0, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 were tested against Bactrocera zonata and Bactrocera cucurbitae pupae. The results showed that radiation prolong the duration of pupal stage and hatching is reduced by applying radiation. This also shows that when the quantity of the radiation increases, the adult emergence decreases. This study could be very useful in exploiting the potential host for longer period of time for culturing their pupal parasitoids.

“…o aumento de temperatura durante o processo é insignificante, os insetos estéreis podem ser liberados imediatamente após terem sido tratados, a irradiação não deixa resíduos nocivos, e a irradiação pode ser feita com os insetos já embalados (BAKRI et al, 2005b).…”

“…Em relação às doses, de acordo com a base de dados IDIDAS, as doses de radiação necessárias para indução de esterilidade em Diptera variam de 20 a 150 Gy (BAKRI et al, 2005b). Nas biofábricas de criação massal de moscas-das-frutas ao redor do mundo, a dose aplicada para indução da esterilidade varia entre 90 e 140 Gy para C.…”
