“…These, FF-ALPPs have facilitated the export of a variety of fruits as well as bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and vine ripe tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) (Reyes et al 2007).

“…In this way, areas with less than 0.5 FTD are considered ALPP for C. capitata in citrus orchards, whereas in mango orchards this limit is established in less than 1 FTD ((FAO) Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations 2007). These levels are also required by the USA export of fruits from Spain (USDA 2002) and employed for other authors to establish the level of low pest prevalence (Reyes et al 2007).…”

“…Nowadays, SIT is included in several fruit fly AW-IPM programmes (Hendrichs et al 2005). In most of the countries, where AW-IPM programmes are employed to control fruit flies, SIT is always combined with other control methods (Reyes et al 2007, Hendrichs 2005, such as male annihilation technique (MAT) (Jessup et al 2007, Mau et al 2007, insecticidal protein bait sprays (Mau et al 2007, Montoya et al 2007, Gonzalez et al 2007, Reyes et al 2007, augmentative parasitoids releases (Mau et al 14 2007, Montoya et al 2007 and other cultural and post-harvest treatments. SIT is never employed as a standalone control method against known infestations (Klassen 2005), but it is used to prevent the establishment of C. capitata in southern California and Florida that arrive in smuggled fruits (Reyes et al 2007, Hendrichs 2005.…”

Chemosterilant Bait Stations Coupled With Sterile Insect Technique: An Integrated Strategy to Control the Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)

et al. 2011

During 2008 and 2009, the efficacy of the combination of two Mediterranean fruit fly control techniques, the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) and a chemosterilant bait station system (Adress®), was tested in three crops: citrus, stone fruit and persimmon. Two thousand sterile males were released per ha and week in the whole trial area (50,000 ha, SIT area). In 3,600 ha, inside of the whole trial area, 24 Adress® traps per ha were hung (SIT+Adress® area). Ten SIT+Adress® plots and 10 SIT plots in each of three different fruit crops were arranged to assess Mediterranean fruit fly population densities and fruit damage throughout the trial period. In order to evaluate the efficacy of each treatment, the male and female populations were each monitored from August 2008 to November 2009 and injured fruit was assessed before harvest. Results showed a significant reduction in the Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann population in plots treated with both techniques vs plots treated only with the SIT. Likewise, a corresponding reduction in the percentage of injured fruit was observed. These data indicate the compatibility of these techniques and suggest the possibility to use Adress® coupled with SIT to reduce C. capitata populations in locations with high population densities, where SIT alone is not sufficiently effective to strongly suppress them. RESUMEN. En este trabajo se ha evaluado la eficiacia resultante de la combinación de dos métodos de control de la mosca del Mediterráneo, la técnica del insecto esteril (TIE) y el sistema quimioesterilizante Adress® basado en estaciones cebo. Estos ensayos se realizaron durante 2008 y 2009 sobre tres cultivos: cítricos, frutales de hueso y caqui. Semanalmente, en las 50.000 ha de ensayo se liberaron 2.000 machos por ha (Area TIE). En una zona de 3.600 ha, situada en el interior del Area TIE, además de los machos estériles se colgaron 24 unidades Adress® (Area TIE+Adress®). Dentro de cada una de las areas descritas se seleccionaron 10 parcelas de cada uno de los cultivos citados. En cada una de las 30 parcelas de cada área se

Sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environmentally benign pest management technique that involves releasing millions of sterile insects to suppress reproduction of pest populations. Many fruit flies, including Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni Froggatt, ‘Q-fly’), have long adult maturation periods such that pre-maturation mortality can greatly reduce abundance of sexually active sterile males and impede SIT efficacy. Q-fly is the most difficult and costly challenge to market access for Australia’s horticulture industries, and has been targeted for intensive use of SIT program. We here demonstrate potential of pre-release caffeine supplements as a novel means to accelerate sexual maturation in male Q-fly. In mating trials, analytical caffeine was very effective at accelerating sexual maturation, while no positive effects of caffeine-containing instant coffee or guarana supplements were detected. In parallel, development of testes and ejaculatory apodemes was accelerated in males provided analytical caffeine but not instant coffee or guarana. High doses of guarana and instant coffee reduced longevity while even the highest doses of analytical caffeine did not affect longevity. Pre-release caffeine supplements promote sexual maturation in Q-flies, and similar benefits are expected in other fruit flies having long adult maturation periods.
