“…Nearly 250 of these species feed on plants which could cause economic damage (4). Most of these flies are polyphagous, have high capability of reproduction, can quickly spread in a wide area and these have made them a serious threat to crops (5).…”

Purpose: Bactrocera zonata (Diptera, Tephritidae), is considered as a dangerous pest of mango in the south of Iran, which its control is one of the main concerns of farmers who are facing numerous problems. To assay the different methods for controlling B. zonata, this study was carried out. Method: The treatments were, A) spraying 7% methyl eugenol+7% technical malathion on trunk and tree branches, B) soaking 8-10 layers of jute sacks with previous treatment that were attached to tree branches, C) bucket trap along with chipboard that was saturated with 6 ml of methyl eugenol, D) spraying 3% protein hydrolysate+3 ppm malathion (EC 57%) on the trunk and tree branches, E) spraying 3% sugar permit+3 ppm malathion on the trunk and tree branches, and F) control (no treatment). The experiments were repeated at two consecutive years. Results:The results confirmed that the differences among treatments and the effect of the year on the treatments were significant (p>1%). The treatment D captured the highest numbers of fruit flies in both years of replications. The treatments had significant effect on percentage of fruit infestation. Conclusion:The findings confirmed that treatments C and B had the greatest impact on pest control.

“…Usually a broad range of hosts coexist in field conditions during summer season and the majority of which are susceptible to fruit fly infestation. Previous studies reported oviposition preference and offspring performance of fruit flies based on choice and no-choice trials (Muthuthantri and Clarke 2012;Rauf et al 2013;Rizk et al 2014El-Gendy 2017. The findings of the above mentioned studies demonstrated an oviposition preference hierarchy of fruit flies on host tested.…”

The melon fruit fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) is a quarantine insect pest worldwide and affects the vegetable quality through its direct feeding and indirectly by passing way for secondary pathogens. This study investigated the host susceptibility, preference and offspring performance of Z. cucurbitae under the laboratory conditions. Different vegetable hosts i.e., brinjal (Solanum melongena L.), bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.), zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.), bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria [Molina] Standley) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) were tested under no choice and free choice tests. Results showed that C. sativus and C. pepo have highest number of visits/host and oviposition puncture/host. C. sativus showed highest pupal recovery and pupal weight in both only choice and free choice test. While, highest percentage of emergence and female off springs were observed in C. pepo under only choice and free choice scenarios. Furthermore, maximum deformities in progeny were observed in case of L. siceraria under both test case scenarios. The current study provides exploratory support that fruit flies respond differently to host species that co-exists in field under choice and no choice test. Further, hosts of advantage to fruit flies are adopted more. The host and choice preference of fruit flies have the influence on the pest management strategies for the vegetable crops.

Pupae produced/host were reported by Rizk et al (2014) and El-Gendy (2017) (Jaleel et al, 2018 andSalina et al, 2018). Hemeida et al (2019) recorded certain biological aspects of adult longevity and duration of egg deposition, pupal emergence, adult emergence percentages, the life cycle, fecundity and hatchability between three host fruits and larval artificial diet for B. zonata.…”

The present work was conducted to evaluate effect of five types of fruits (guava -apples -mango -citruspomegranate) on the Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly), Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) and the peach fruit fly (PFF) Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) at the immature stages under laboratory conditions. Both species of fruit flies were insignificantly equal with those of the mixed individuals on certain biological aspects (pupation%, pupal mortality%, emerged flies%, mean number of emerge males and females, sex ratio as emerged males%), except for mango and pomegranate fruits pupation (%) of PFF recorded high significantly 93.3 and 81.3%, respectively. Also, in pomegranate fruits emerged flies (%) of PFF gave high significantly 81.3% and mean of emerged females in mango fruits 50.7. Medfly recorded the shortest larval and pupal duration in all tested hosts. So, it can be concluded that infection of orchards with Medfly in the tested host fruits must be calls faster control practices (partial spray) required due to the shortest larval and pupal duration of Medfly.
