Males of many fruit flies of Bactrocera species were found to enhance their mating competitiveness after consumption of the kairomone lure, methyl eugenol (4-allyl-1, 2-dimethoxybenzene-carboxylate) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Methyl eugenol is a component of plant essential oil found in at least 200 species of plants from 32 families [14,15].Male annihilation technique (MAT) (lure and kill) is applied as spot treatments by using dispensers as carriers of the main component of MAT, methyl eugenol (the male attractant) and toxicant [16,17].Male annihilation technique is one of the fruit fly control methods where it aims to remove male insects, thus reducing male population. This disturbs the male: female ratio and reduces the insects' chances of mating and these females produce few progeny. Accordingly, the insect population at the target area declines and the insects could be eradicated at the end [16,18]. MAT was used successfully to eradicate the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) in Rota [19], Saipan [20] and Okinawa [21]; Asian papaya fruit fly, Bactrocera papayae in Australia [22] and Bactrocera species in Nauru [23]. Current control tactics of fruit flies depended mainly on AbstractPeach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) (Diptera: Tiphritidae) is considered as one of the most economically important pests for several kinds of fruits and vegetables. In order to reduce the cost of male annihilation technique (MAT) for controlling B. zonata, dilution of methyl eugenol with paraffin oil had been evaluated to reduce the quantity of methyl eugenol. Five concentrations of methyl eugenol (10, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) were tested with three insecticides belonging to different groups of pesticides; fentrithion, spinosad and a mixture of thiamethoxam+abamactin. Methyl eugenol-fentrithion mixture at 100% of methyl eugenol showed that the weekly mean numbers of captured males all over 10 successive weeks were significantly higher (87.3 individuals/block) than those obtained at 75% (45.9), 50% (32.4), 25% (34.2) and 10% (9.0). There were no significant differences between concentrations 50, 75 and 100% of methyl eugenol in spinosad mixture, while their effects on captured males were significantly higher than that obtained when 10% and 25% were used. Mean numbers of captured males subjected to methyl eugenol-thiamethoxam+abamactin mixture averaged 8. 8, 19.0, 24.9, 24.9 and 48.0 individuals/block at 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100%, respectively. Statistically, the mean number of captured males over the tested period at 100% of methyl eugenol was significantly higher than those obtained at 10, 25, 50 and 75%. Males of B. zonata were more attracted to methyl eugenol-spinosad mixture compared with methyl eugenol-(fentrithion and thiamethoxam+abamactin) mixtures. As a conclusion, dilution of methyl eugenol in paraffin oil till 50% in MAT by using spinosad (as an insecticide) did not significantly affect the captured males and had a high effect against B. zonata population.

“…The Dakahlia Governorate is a major agricultural area in northeast Egypt. In experiments with LFN sprays in the Aga region of Dakahlia, Moustafa et al () reported large reductions (86% in 2008 and 75% in 2009) in olive fly, B. oleae , populations after spraying orchards with LFN. LFN can also interrupt development and reproduction, mainly via its effects on cuticle in the medfly (Navarro‐Llopis et al., ; Navarro‐Llopis et al., ), in the mosquito, Aedes aegypti (Salokhe et al., ), in Drosophila melanogaster , and in other fly species (Mosson et al., ; Wilson and Cryan, ; Avila et al., ; Butter et al., ; Moya et al., ; Chang et al., ).…”

Lufenuron (LFN), a chitin synthase inhibitor, impacts the fertility of Ceratitis capitata, Bactrocera dorsalis, B. cucurbitae, and B. latifrons. We posed the hypothesis that LFN curtails egg hatch in the solanaceous fruit fly, B. latifrons. In this study, newly emerged virgin adults were sexed and fed for 12 days with varying concentrations of LFN-laced agar diets until sexual maturation. Eggs were collected from 12-d-old adults and the egg hatch was assessed. Egg hatch decreased in adults reared on LFN-treated diets. LFN-treated media did not influence fertility after one gender was reared on experimental and the other on control media before mating. Exposure to LFN-treated medium after mating led to reduced egg hatch. We infer that LFN is not a permanent sterilant, and reduced egg hatch depends on continuous exposure to dietary LFN after mating. Proteomic analysis identified two differentially expressed proteins, a pheromone binding protein and a chitin binding protein, between adults maintained on LFN-treated and control diets. Expression of two genes encoding chitin synthase 2, and chitin binding protein, was altered in adults exposed to dietary LFN. LFN treatments also led to increased expression of two odorant binding proteins one in females and one in males. We surmise these data support our hypothesis and provide insight into LFN actions.

“…Besides, common insecticides such as dimethoate failed to protect olives for as long a period after the last spray. Research for biological control alternatives against this pest is based essentially on mass trapping methods and the use of natural product-based pesticides such as the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), spinosad that offer a more sustainable solution to pest control than synthetic alternatives (Lambert and Peferoen, 1992 [5]; Federici and Sakano, 2006 [6]; Sameh et al, 2009 [7]). Strategies involving semiochemical-based products have been pursued in the development of integrated pest management strategies for B. oleae (Mazomenos and Haniotakis, 1981 [8]; Gil-Ortiz, 2012 [9]; Canale et al, 2014 [10]).…”

Bactrocera oleae is the most economically damaging insect of olive in the Mediterranean. As a reliable alternative to synthetic chemical insecticides, botanical pesticides from plant extracts are also considered natural control methods safe for the environment and human health. In practical applications up to date, studies demonstrating toxically effects of biological control agents on the insect have been carried out in organic farming systems based on some industrial microbial formulations. But much less attention has been given to botanical insecticides against B. oleae. Thus, a certified botanical insecticide issue from various plants and approved per Indian and International organic standards was tested against larvae and pupae of the olive pest Bactrocera oleae in the east of Tunisia under laboratory conditions. The experiments were conducted with 3 normal treatments and 1 control. Two techniques were used for larvae and pupae: direct contact using concentration from 0.5; 0.750; 1 and 1.5 mg/l and fumigation treatment using 2 mg/l conducted in rectangular boxes (25˚C-27˚C, 75%-85% RH and 14:10 LD photo period). For larval stages, LC50 and LC90 values for Ultra-Act were 0.45 and 1.22 mg/L in direct contact and 1.5-2 mg/l with fumigation, respectively. For pupal stage, the ID25 and ID50 values were estimated to be 0.71 mg and 1.26 mg respectively corresponding to the inhibition of emergence of 25% and 50% of B. oleae adults from pupa. Our results indicate that sprayed Ultra-Act product has the potential to control the three olive fly instar larvae. Pupal emergency was decreased significantly with fumigation treatment. In conclusion, Ultra-Act is a promising botanical insecticide against B. oleae that could How to cite this paper: Blibech, I., Ksantini, M. and Shete, M.
