Growth and Development of <i>Acanthiophilus helianthi</i> (Diptera: Tephritidae) Feeding on Safflower, <i>Carthamus tinctorius</i>

Abstract: Safflower fly, Acanthiophilus helianthi Rossi (Diptera: Tephritidae), undergoes four stages (egg, larva, pupa and adult) during its growth and development. In this study, observation showed that the egg's stage took 1.16 ± 0.00, larva's stage took 12.02 ± 0.13 and pupa's stage took 7.03 ± 0.08 days before the emergence of adults. The male adult survived for 21.97 ± 2.69 days, while the female lived 19.19 ± 1.50 days. It was observed that the eggs were laid in a cluster, with a range between 10 -50 eggs per clu… Show more

“…To evaluate the effect of tomato ripening stage on B. tryoni egg performance, 40 B. tryoni eggs shortly after being laid (<2 hrs) were inoculated into each of 10 fruit for the three ripening stages of both tomato cultivars. Egg viability was determined by prior emersion in distilled water: viable eggs sank to the bottom of the container, while non‐viable eggs stayed on the surface (Saeidi, Mirfakhraei, & Mehrkhou, 2015; Vargas, Walsh, Kanehisa, Stark, & Nishida, 2000). Inoculation was done by making a 2‐mm‐deep incision in the fruit's skin using a sterile surgical blade, with 20 eggs then transferred gently inside the incision using a 4/0 brush.…”
