--Significance of fruit flies in vegetable crops. Vegetable crops hold a key position in agricultural production in Reunion (Indian Ocean); however, many pests and diseases threaten the profitability of this agricultural sector. Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) figure among the main pests for solanaceous crops and cucurbits (cucumber, zucchini, melon, etc. Reunion. This part presents research actions implemented in fly bio-ecology, research actions into the genetic structure of populations and design of an agro-ecological management scheme for vegetable fruit flies. Conclusions. The control methods used independently have not been successful to effectively control tephritid populations. A more integrated approach is required, also taking into account the landscape scale and its mosaic of habitats, especially wild plants, whose role must be considered within a framework of agro-ecological management of these pest populations.Reunion / vegetable crops / Tephritidae / Bactrocera cucurbitae / Dacus ciliatus / Dacus demmerezi / Neoceratitis cyanescens / pest control / control methods Les mouches des fruits (Diptera : Tephritidae) sur légumes à la Réunion (océan Indien) : état des connaissances, méthodes de contrôle et perspectives de gestion.Résumé --Importance des mouches des fruits en cultures maraîchères. Les cultures maraîchères occupent une position clé dans la production agricole à la Réunion (océan Indien), toutefois, de nombreux ravageurs et maladies menacent la rentabilité de ce secteur agricole. Les mouches des fruits (Diptera : Tephritidae) figurent parmi les principaux ravageurs des solanacées et des cucurbitacées (concombre, courgette, melon, etc.). Des pertes de près de 80 % des récoltes de tomate et de 100 % de cucurbitacées ont été fré-quemment observées. Inventaire et distribution. Quatre espèces de mouches des fruits appartenant à la famille des Tephritidae provoquent des dommages importants aux cultures légumières à la Réunion : Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillet), Dacus ciliatus Loew et D. demmerezi (Bezzi) sur les cucurbitacées, et Neoceratitis cyanescens (Bezzi) sur les solanacées (principalement les tomates). La distribution de chacun d'eux est présentée. Biologie et comportement. Quelques études sur la biologie et le comportement des quatre mouches des fruits ont été menées à la Réunion dans les années 1990. Leurs principales caractéristiques biologiques ont été résumées. Méthodes de contrôle des populations utilisées à la Réunion. Diverses méthodes utilisées actuellement à la Réunion contre ces mouches des fruits sont exposées : lutte chimique, mesures préventives (assainissement), contrôle physique, contrôle biotechnique [pièges colorés, technique d'élimination des mâles (MAT) et technique d'utilisation d'appâts (BAT)] et lutte biologique. D'autres méthodes de lutte comme la lutte intégrée, et la technique des insectes stériles ne sont pas utilisées à la Réunion. Perspectives de mise en oeuvre de la gestion bio-écologique des mouches de fruits en culture maraîchère à la Réunion. Cet...

“…An increase in concentration of HymLure and GF‐120 led to a corresponding numerical increase in fly response although for GF‐120, a 5% concentration was found to be optimal for all species. Fabre et al. (2003) also found that an increase in concentration of protein hydrolysates was associated with an increase in response of the melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett).…”

Attractiveness of commercially available protein baits to three congeneric fruit fly species: Ceratitis capitata, Ceratitis rosa and Ceratitis cosyra was evaluated in field cage assays. Protein baits tested were HymLure, GF‐120 Naturalyte and M3 bait (also known as Questlure, used in M3 bait station registered for fruit fly control in South Africa). The influence of concentration on attractiveness of HymLure and GF‐120 was determined and the effect of ageing of M3 bait on response of the three fly species was evaluated. Responses to the three types of bait were species specific. C. cosyra had a low response to HymLure but responded well to the other two baits tested. C. capitata and C. rosa responded well to all baits tested. Ceratitis capitata was the most responsive of all species tested to protein baits. Female flies responded more to commercial baits than male flies, irrespective of fruit fly species. Concentration of HymLure and GF‐120 influenced attractiveness of flies but this was species and sex specific. Attractiveness of M3 bait did not change with ageing of the bait. A novel method of bait evaluation was used in this study and can be adopted for future screening of food attractants. The practical implications of this study were discussed with respect to control strategies adopted in areas of multiple fruit fly pest species, particularly on choice of baits to be used.

“…Zervas (1982) found that more B. oleae were captured in traps baited with Entomosyl (Höchst Hellas) than with ammonium sulfate, Buminal (Bayer SA, Puteaux, France), or Dacus bait (E.V.Y.P., Thessaloniki, Greece) tested at a ratio of 3 % bait:2 % borax. Fabre et al (2003) found that more female B. dorsalis were attracted to Provesta 621 autolyzed yeast extract (Integrated Ingredients, Bartlesville, OK, USA; product is now known as Ohly STV, Hamburg, Germany), Indianapolis,IN,USA), and Masoferm than to water, with intermediate attraction to NuLure, while male attraction to all four protein baits was greater than attraction to water in field cage tests conducted with laboratory-reared flies. In parallel tests with B. cucurbitae, all protein baits captured more females and males than water.…”
