“…Statistical analysis of the present study explained that temperature degrees play insignificant roles in increasing of Medfly population in the first season and significant relationship in the second season. These results support those obtained by Afia (2007) and Ghanim (2017); they cited that the effect of climate elements on Medfly population did now appear significantly during its active period While, Saafan et al (2005), Saafan et al (2006) and Ghanim and Moustafa (2009) they obtained that Medfly populations were significantly correlated with temperature degrees.…”

Mediteranean fruit fly (MFF), Ceratitis capitata, Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae) is one of the most important pests destructing guava fruits. The present work aimed to study the adult activity of MFF using two sample methods and correlating the numbersof adults of MFF with Temperature and Relative humidity at El-Dakahlia and Kafr El-Shaikh Governorates during 2019and 2020 seasons. The obtained results indicated that MFFadults populations showed three distinct peaks at El-Dakahlia and Kafr El-Shaikh Governorates. The obtained results indicated that MFF recorded two peaks of the mean of infection per fruit and infection percentage, the first season at 15 August (4.43, 19.5%) and 22 August (4.76, 20.32). While in the second season recorded two peaks at (6 and 13 September ) the percentage of infections were (19.67% and 22.65%) respectively. The MFF population exhibited insignificant and significant correlation coefficients with temperature in the first (r=-0.20) and second (r=0.87) seasons, whereas the population showed insignificant response to relative humidity at El-Dakahlia and Kafr El-Shaikh Governorates.

A field study was carried out on the population dynamics of Medfly Ceratitis capitata Wied. males in three governorates groves of Gaza Strip (North, Gaza and Middle). Forty two orchards of Valencia orange as host plants of the fruit fly, thirty one orchards of olive as nonhost plants and sixteen backyards as urban area representing three different ecological environments of the fly, were chosen during two successive growing seasons. During the first growing season (2002), the grand mean of captured males/trap/day (CTD) of C. capitata for all inspection dates were: 1.99, 1.19, 1.2, 1.67, 1.35, 0.93 and 0.94 in Valencia orchards, North, Gaza, Dair Al Balah zone, total area, olive orchards and backyards, respectively. In 2003, the CTD for the above mentioned sites were 3.26, 1.12, 1.99, 1.81, 0.93, 1.03, and 1.02, respectively. Mean percentages of C.capitata host fruit infestations were 12.5-35.1% in collected samples during two successive seasons. All the sites contained mixed host plants of citrus, stone and pome fruits, guava, figs and other host fruits. More than two population peaks at the fruit ripening period of Valencia orange (April-June), peach, fig, guava (June-August) and Shammoty orange, grapefruit, guava, clementine (November-December) were obtained. The Medfly activity continued in most of the season, but decrease to a very low level in all studied locations during early spring months (February -March), due to the absence of host fruits and unfavorable climatic conditions. There was relationship between the average daily temperatures and daily activity period of the insect during summer seasons, as the traps captured a greater number of males at moderate temperatures. The mean number of CTD was significantly different in all 36 dates of inspection in each season for the three governorates and in three ecological environments (Valencia orange, olive orchards and backyards) of C.capitata during 2002 and 2003 seasons. In the same, time the means CTD,s were not significantly different among the three governorates. Results obtained could be exploited in management of this insect pest especially, in its control programs أجريت دراسة حقلية خلال موسمي نمو متتاليين 2002 و2003 حول ديناميكية تغير أعداد ذكور ذبابة الفاكهةCeratitis capitata Wied., Diptera: Tephritidae في بساتين الفاكهة لثلاث محافظات: الشمال وغزة والوسطى. وقد اختير لتمثيل ثلاث بيئات مختلفة لذبابة الفاكهة 42 بستان فلنسيا كعائل نباتي لهذه الحشرة و31 بستان زيتون كنبات غير عائل و16 حديقة منزلية في المناطق السكنية، إضافة لجميع المساحات المزروعة في المحافظات الثلاث. في عام 2002

The peach fruit fly Bactrocera zonata, is a harmful insect that infests various fruit crops and vegetables worldwide, including Egypt. Its presence leads to significant damages and losses. To minimize the negative impact of pesticide residues on human health and the environment, a study was conducted to examine the seasonal behavior of Bactrocera zonata on navel orange trees. This investigation involved the utilization of sex attractants and the monitoring of fruit samples. The research was conducted over two consecutive seasons, namely 2020 and 2021. By utilizing sex attractants, pheromone (mass trapping) it was discovered that the number of male Bactrocera zonata captured and infested increased during the Autumn period, specifically in October, in both seasons. Additionally, it was observed that Bactrocera zonata males exhibited a single peak of activity each season. Fruit samples were monitored to assess fruit infestation, and it was found that infestation was positively correlated with the maturity of the fruits. The weekly count of males captured in the fly traps, along with the infestation rate of this pest, indicated that these traps could serve as a useful tool for predicting the infestation rates of Bactrocera zonata in their host fruits. Conclusion The implementation of mass trapping techniques utilizing pheromone-based tools will result in a reduction of infestation by the end of the second season of 2021.
