“…According to Araujo & Zucchi (2003), Anastrepha zenildae is the fly species that initiates the infestation on the orchard and is adapted to guavas cultivated in semi-arid regions. Similar results were found by Querino et al (2014) in state of Minas Gerais.…”

Guava's fruits are usually infested by fruit flies. There is little information regarding the native parasitoids associated with fruit flies, which may vary according to the local conditions. A study was made from September, 2013, to August, 2014, in a family orchard, in Barbalha. The fruit flies and their parasitoids were correlated to climatic variables besides their infestation, frequency, and parasitism rates. The fruits were collected weekly and taken to a laboratory, where they were counted, weighted, and stored on trays with vermiculite, and kept under non-controlled conditions, and covered with organza until pupation. The pupae were collected between seven to ten days later and kept until their emergence as adults. The variables fruit infestation, parasitism, and frequency rates were calculated, and in April, we registered the greatest values of fruit flies/parasitoids abundance and diversity. Anastrepha sororcula and Anastrepha zenildae were the most abundant and their occurrence and parasitism was greater during April due to favorable climatic conditions. The fruit fly infestation was more common during the rainy season, from January to June, and the parasitism occurred with more intensity in April, and the parasitoid Doryctobracon areolatus was the most frequent.

“…In Brazil, guava tree distribution and grown on a commercial scale in practically all regions and its production represents about 2% of the total of all species of fruit grown in Brazil (IBGE 2014). As with other fruits, fruit flies have been one of the major limiting factors for guava production (Silva et al 2011, Taira et al 2013, Querino et al 2014. However, in Brazil, studies on the methods of evaluation of the spatial distribution of fruit flies in guava orchards by the theoretical frequency distribution method have not been reported.…”

This study aimed to know the patterns of spatial distribution of Anastrepha spp. and establish a criterion for determining the appropriate time for pest control. For this, 90 McPhail traps were used as Sampling Units (SU) divided into three commercial orchards of Novo Milênio guava with a total area of 14 ha. Traps were interspersed between the rows of plants, systematically in the orchards, hung and baited with 5% hydrolyzed corn protein with weekly collections. We caught 8,170 Anastrepha spp. in 840 SU. The mean infestation index was compared to the three types of distribution: random, uniform, aggregate, and fit by the theoretical frequency distributions of Poisson, negative binomial and positive binomial. The populations of Anastrepha presented aggregate distribution according to the mean variance method (I), tested by distance from randomness. The economic damage risk potential of Anastrepha spp. was associated with the aggregate distribution behavior. The most appropriate moment for the use of control techniques is when reaching 20 flies by the negative binomial. On the other hand, number of fruit fly adults per trap per day (FTD), underestimates population index, which will allow population growth, leading to risk of crop production loss.

“…This family has species that are hosts of several species of fruit flies with high association NORRBOM, 2011;ZUCCHI et al, 2011). The natural vegetation is important for the maintenance of the fruit fly population (QUERINO et al, 2014). These areas may have fruit species in common with planted orchards allowing the movement of insects from one environment to another.…”

“…Bomfim et al (2007) obtained similar results, with higher Shannon index in environment under lower disturbance when compared with anthropized environment. The diversity of fruit flies is supported by the presence of native fragments adjacent to agricultural areas (QUERINO et al, 2014). Aluja (1993) states that these insects migrate for foraging, searching for a sexual partner, egg laying sites, refuges and escape from predators.…”

This study aimed to evaluate how the surrounding vegetation affects the assemblage of fruit flies. For this, flies were collected in guava orchards with distinct types of surrounding vegetation (exotic pasture, native forest and fruit tree intercropping). The experiment was conducted in Itaporã and Dourados, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Weekly samples were collected from March to April 2015. McPhail traps were baited with 5% hydrolyzed corn protein. Species richness, diversity index and abundance were evaluated for each orchard, as well as the species composition of fruit fly between the environments surrounding the orchard and, finally, the sex ratio. A total of 579 individuals were collected of the species Anastrepha fraterculus, A. montei, A. obliqua, A. sororcula, A. striata, A. turpiniae and A. zenildae. The orchard surrounded by native forest had the highest species richness and Shannon diversity. The species composition differed between environments, with the formation of three distinct groups. The environment surrounding the guava orchard influences the richness, diversity, abundance and sex ratio of fruit flies, indicating that the native forest may provide more resources for the maintenance of these insects.
