Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) on vegetable crops in Reunion Island (Indian Ocean): state of knowledge, control+ methods and prospects for management

Abstract: --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 a… Show more

“…htm). In Réunion, 22 species of fruit flies are present, including four economically detrimental to fruit crops and four harmful to vegetable crops (Etienne 1972;Ryckewaert et al 2010 The damage caused by fruit flies is extremely detrimental to Réunion; entire crops are frequently lost (Ryckewaert et al 2010). Female flies lay eggs in fruit which cause their deterioration; larvae feed on the pulp of fruit and other pathogens (bacteria, fungi) may enter egg-laying holes.…”

“…To distinguish them from other species of Tephritidae, these three species are commonly called "vegetables flies." Through egg laying, vegetable flies inflict considerable damage, causing crop losses as high as 90-100 % despite the application of chemical insecticides (Ryckewaert et al 2010;Vayssières 1999 (Bertile 1987). Réunion is subject to a humid oceanic tropical climate characterized by an eastern trade wind and high temperatures throughout the year.…”
