“…In test repetitions where the banana bunches were separated into clusters after exposure to infestation, 0 Ð2 Mediterranean fruit ßies were recovered from bunches exposed to 500 or 1,000 gravid females, respectively (Table 3). No recovery of Mediterranean fruit ßy from banana bunches exposed to 500 gravid females demonstrates nonhost status consistent with the recommendations of Cowley et al (1992). The results also show that Mediterranean fruit ßy infestations can be forced at an infestation pressure of 1,000 gravid females, regardless of whether the bunch was separated into Þngers or clusters ( Table 3).…”

“…APHIS-PPQ was speciÞcally concerned with the infestability of these bananas on account of their ripening characteristics. Although test procedures were similar to those recommended by Cowley et al (1992) for determining fruit ßy host status for fresh fruits, the number (1,000) of gravid females to which bananas (Ϸ100) were exposed in a portion of the tests was double the recommended number in an attempt to force infestation to occur.…”

Quarantine Security of Bananas at Harvest Maturity Against Mediterranean and Oriental Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Hawaii

Culled bananas (dwarf 'Brazilian', 'Grand Nain', 'Valery', and 'Williams') sampled from packing houses on the islands of Hawaii, Kauai, Maui, Molokai, and Oahu identified specific "faults" that were at risk from oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), infestation. Faults at risk included bunches with precociously ripened bananas, or bananas with tip rot, fused fingers, or damage that compromised skin integrity to permit fruit fly oviposition into fruit flesh. No Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), or melon fly, B. cucurbitae (Coquillett), infestations were found in culled banana samples. Field infestation tests indicated that mature green bananas were not susceptible to fruit fly infestation for up to 1 wk past the scheduled harvest date when attached to the plant or within 24 h after harvest. Recommendations for exporting mature green bananas from Hawaii without risk of fruit fly infestation are provided. The research reported herein resulted in a USDA-APHIS protocol for exporting mature green bananas from Hawaii.

“…For example, Hass avocados in Michoacan, Mexico, were recently reported as a nonhost for Anastrepha fruit flies (2). Methods to establish nonhost status in this study followed those recommended by New Zealand MAF (20), the only published nonhost standard at this time. The New Zealand MAF host-testing protocol begins with a laboratory cage trial that involves exposing 500 g of fruit to a number of gravid females to ensure that 250 to 500 eggs are laid, replicated five times.…”

Key Words quarantine pests, phytosanitary measures, probit 9 alternatives, generic treatments, systems approach ■ Abstract With world trade in agricultural commodities increasing, the introduction of exotic insects into new areas where they become pests will increase. The development and application of quarantine treatments or other mitigation approaches to prevent pest introduction in traded commodities raise many research and regulatory issues. The probit 9 standard for quarantine treatment efficacy has given way to riskbased alternatives. Varietal testing may have merit for some treatments or commodities but not for others. Development of generic treatments to control broad groups of insects or insects in all commodities can expedite new trade in agricultural products. Area-wide pest management programs lower pest levels before harvest and improve the quarantine security provided by any postharvest treatments. Systems approaches capitalize on cumulative pest mortality from multiple control components to achieve quarantine security in an exported commodity. Certain quarantine treatment technologies such as irradiation are not universally accepted, which is slowing their adoption. Standardized phytosanitary measures and research protocols are needed to improve the flow of information when countries propose to trade in a regulated commodity.

“…The relationship between cherries as a resource and larval development demands further examination. Cowley et al (1992) pointed out that successful pest development in a fruit is a critical criterion in determining host status. Also, it is questionable that codling moth can complete larval development in cherries that are so susceptible to disease and tissue breakdown.…”

Effect of Cold Treatment on Survival and Development of Codling Moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in Cherry

'Bing' cherries, Prunus avium L., were obtained from an organic orchard and a conventional commercial orchard. The two groups were examined separately in replicated tests infested with each fruit initially infested with a first-instar codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.). To simulate commercial postharvest holding conditions, the treatments were 0 (control), 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, and 14 d cold storage at 3.3 degrees C. The fruits were examined three or more times to determine larval survival, life stage, fruit condition, and fungal disease. Survival of first instars was affected only by cold storage durations of > or = 7 d. When infested with codling moth larvae, both organic and conventionally grown cherries quickly deteriorated from fungal diseases. The rate of moth development was estimated from the surviving larvae and was significantly different between organic and conventionally grown cherries for all instars except the second.
