“…It attacks over 40 different species of fleshy fruits in Benin. As in Benin, it is commonly found in Senegal [38] in the main cultivated fruits such as mango (Mangifera indica), guava (Psidium guajava), sweet orange (Citrus sinensis), mandarin (Citrus reticulata), tangelo (Citrus reticulata × Citrus paradisi), pomelo (Citrus paradisi), kumquat (Fortunella margarita), soursop (Annona muricata), papaya (Carica papaya), and wild species such as tropical almond (Terminalia catappa), Sclerocarya birrea and Vitellaria paradoxa in Benin [28,29,34,39]. This fly is also found less frequently in Benin in cashew (Anacardium occidentale) [40], avocado (Persea americana), banana (Musa acuminata), malay apple (Sizygium malaccense), bully tree (Manilkara zapota), star apple (Chrysophyllum albidum), star fruit (Averrhoa carambola), chilli pepper (Capsicum frutescens), tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) and wild custard apple (Annona senegalensis) [39].…”

--Introduction. Knowledge of tephritid diversity in Senegal was poor before 2004, so PIP-COLEACP and CIRAD, in collaboration with Cérès-DPV, carried out, in 2004, trapping for preliminary detection of fruit flies in six orchards in the Niayes zone. Materials and methods. We selected three mixed mango orchards and three homogeneous mango orchards in this zone. In each orchard, we used three attractants: Terpinyl acetate (Ter), Trimedlure (Tri) and Torula (Tor). Traps were serviced weekly. Results. We captured 77 642 fruit flies in more than 4 months including mango season; they were represented by 18 identified fly species, including ten Ceratitis, six Dacus and two Bactrocera species. Two very serious pests were identified with the confirmation of Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) for cucurbit crops and the detection of B. invadens Drew Tsuruta & White for fruit crops. The two most abundant species of Ceratitis were C. cosyra and C. silvestrii. Discussion. We captured more fruit fly species in mixed mango orchards than in homogeneous mango orchards. Bactrocera invadens was also more abundant in mixed orchards, probably because of its polyphagous status. This new invasive species, B. invadens, can have many hosts in mixed mango orchards, enhancing its breeding potential. Conclusion. Effective management to deal with this alien species requires: (i) improvement of basic and applied research; (ii) an effective IPM package; (iii) an area-wide management approach; (iv) a sub-regional effort on the part of researchers, extension services, growers, exporters, farming associations and the different actors in fruit value chains (mainly mango). invadens, peut se développer au niveau de nombreuses autres espèces fruitières autres que le manguier, ce qui lui permet d'accroître ses potentialités de reproduction. Conclusion. Une lutte efficace contre cette espèce invasive requiert (i) l'approfondissement de recherches fondamentales et une recherche appliquée efficace, (ii) un paquet technologique efficace en lutte intégrée, (iii) une lutte menée à l'échelle du bassin de production, (iv) un effort général mené à la fois par les centres nationaux de recherche, les services du développement, les exportateurs, les associations de planteurs et les différents intervenants au niveau des filières fruitières (principalement mangue).

“…The combination of certain abiotic factors (high relative humidity, rains, etc.) plus certain biotic factors (mango ripening) produces a population explosion of this highly prolific species (Vayssières et al [4]). Male populations of B. invadens are high for the first 3 months of the rainy season from May to July (figure 3), as observed in all the orchards that we have monitored in Benin since the beginning of 2005.…”

“…However, a major constraint is fruit fly (Diptera, Tephritidae) damage, which is a source of economic losses in both East Africa [1] and West Africa [2,3]. In Benin, over 70% of the total production was lost due to fruit flies in 2005, 2006 [4] and 2007 (Vayssières et al, unpublished data). Since fruit flies are classified as quarantine insects, mango production can be banned from export if phytosanitary norms and standards are not met; this results in a loss of potential incomes along the whole value chain.…”

The mango tree in central and northern Benin: damage caused by fruit flies (Diptera Tephritidae) and computation of economic injury level.Abstract --Introduction. In the southern Sudanian zone of Benin, fruit flies are major pests and responsible for considerable yield losses in mango production. The two main species of economic importance affecting mango trees in Benin are Ceratitis cosyra and Bactrocera invadens. During the 2006 crop year and across seven main cultivars, losses stood at 17% in early April and exceeded 70% in mid-June. By the middle of the crop year, over 50% of losses occurred in mango orchards. Materials and methods. The Stone and Pedigo method was used to compute the economic injury level, using variables such as pest control costs, level of losses and mango prices. Results and discussion. The Economic Injury Level (EIL) was highly variable. For the cultivar Kent, for example, it varies from (30 to 75) fruit flies captured per ha and per week, whereas for Keitt the level ranges from (24 to 57) fruit flies·ha -1 ·week -1 . EIL variability depends among other things on market price fluctuation. This method is based on the early introduction of detection traps in mango orchards. A weekly monitoring of trapped fruit flies is used to compute the EIL and make a decision about pest control. Pest control (GF-120 in this case) is recommended if the gross returns exceed production costs. If the number of trapped fruit flies is below the EIL, a treatment is not recommended because pest control will not be profitable. Conclusion. The EIL is an accurate tool to set the optimal (economic) timing of pest control treatment in mango orchards. These preliminary results should lead to the introduction of integrated pest management (IPM) activities to deal with the fruit fly species that are threatening the profitability of mango production in central and northern Benin. Résumé --Introduction. Dans la zone soudanienne méridionale du Bénin les mouches des fruits constituent la contrainte phytosanitaire majeure pour le manguier et sont responsables de pertes de production considérables. Les deux principales espèces de mouches des fruits d'intérêt économique sont Ceratitis cosyra et Bactrocera invadens. Durant la campagne 2006, les pertes moyennes enregistrées au niveau de sept cultivars étaient de 17 % en début avril et dépassèrent 70 % à partir de mi juin. Le seuil de 50 % de pertes a été enregistré et dépassé en milieu de la campagne. Matériel et méthodes. La formule de Stone et Pedigo a été utilisée pour calculer le seuil économique de nuisibilité en utilisant des variables clés telles les coûts des traitements phytosanitaires, les pertes de rendement et les différents prix du marché pour les mangues. Résultats et discussion. Le seuil économique de nuisibilité a été très variable. Pour le cultivar Kent par exemple, ce seuil a fluctué entre (30 et 75) mouches des fruits par hectare et par semaine, alors qu'il a varié de (24 à 57) mouches pour le cultivar Keitt. Un facteur important affectant le seuil économique...
