“…In addition to spinosad, other biopesticides such as Azadirachtin and the fungus Beauveria bassiana have been registered in Morocco (Elaini & Mazih, 2018). Several studies were conducted in this country on the entomopathogens from the soils of argan forest, in order to exploit virulent strains of the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis (Aboussaid et al, 2009(Aboussaid et al, , 2011 or the fungus B. bassiana against Medfly adults, pupae and larvae (Imoulan et al, 2011).…”

In North Africa as it is worldwide, fruit flies are of major concern for horticultural crops. Bioecology and future trends of fruit flies in North Africa have been reviewed recently in Boulahia-Kheder (2021). However, there is no recent review on their management in North Africa. Previously, in a review by Dias et al. (2018), the number of publications on fruit flies monitoring and control tactics, was 1-5 from Tunisia, 6-25 from Egypt and zero for Morocco, Algeria and Libya, while much research has been conducted in the last 15 years at least in the first three countries. Here, we consider mainly fruit flies management in Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco (Maghreb region) and Egypt, as publications from Mauritania and Libya are not available.In Maghreb, the main fruit fly species of economic concern is the Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly) Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann); it is a key pest on citrus, summer fruits namely peaches and increasingly autumn fruits, such as apples, pears and grapes (Boulahia-

“…However, the estimated damage varies across countries. For instance, while losses from citrus and summer fruits could reach US $ 6 million in Morocco (Aboussaid, et al, 2009), in Egypt this number can ascend to US $ 177 million (Mahmoud, et al, 2017).…”

This analysis applies a regression discontinuity approach combined with remote sensing data to measure the productivity impacts linked to a fruit-fly eradication program, implemented in Peru. For this purpose, satellite imagery was used to estimate a vegetation index over a 10-year span for a sample of 305 producers -155 treated and 150 controls-. The results confirmed that program participation increased agricultural productivity in the short and long terms, in a range from 12% to 49%. However, quantile regression methods suggest that most productive farmers were able to obtain greater impacts.

“…The financial loss due to this pest in these countries is estimated to be US $60-90 million per year, of which US $7-10 million per year is spent on insecticides (IAEA 1995). In addition, a survey conducted in Morocco, evaluated the annual losses caused by this fly on the main fruit and Citrus crops at 53 422 200 DH (Aboussaid et al 2009). In Tunisia, Boulahia-Kheder and Jerraya (2009) also consider this pest as the most important of several types of fruit, in particular, Citrus, peaches, figs and prickly pears and Jerraya (2003), estimates that the losses would be 90% of production in the absence of chemical treatments.…”

This study was carried out in order to determine the initial distribution of Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (1824) (Diptera, Tephrididae) in Algeria, the area now occupied and assess the role of climate change in determining its current distribution. The various surveys and trapping of adults indicate that in addition to the coastal, sub-coastal and Argan regions, this fly is also present in oases. It is reported in all the traditional oases where fruit trees are intercropped with date palm. From the 2000s, the area occupied by this fruit fly increased and spread into provinces where it was not previously reported. Gradually, it increased in abundance and became an important pest. The climate data recorded in the province of Batna (Aurès Mountains, Saharan Atlas) indicate there has been a change in climate. The annual and monthly average temperatures and relative humidity for the period 2000–2018, in this province became more favourable for this fruit fly than in the period 1913–1937, in particular, during the months of March, April, October and November. The results also indicate that in orchards where there are several types of fruit, the numbers of this fly are higher than where mainly apples are grown.
