“…Infected fruits and vegetables quickly become rotten and inedible or drop to the ground prematurely, thus causing considerable losses in production (Hollingsworth et al 1997 (Akhtaruzzaman et al 1999;Singh et al 2000;Dhillon et al 2005). The phenology and population dynamics of fruit flies have been studied extensively in the tropics and to a lesser extend in temperate areas lying within the northern, colder areas of its current geographical distribution (Bateman 1972;Harris et al 1993;Hedstrom 1993;Dhillon et al 2005).…”

“…Most of the studies conducted in the tropics deal primarily with adult trapping in different habitats although some also examine the effect of host fruit on population dynamics (Harris and Lee 1986;1987;Harris et al 1989;Liquido et al 1989;Eskafi and Kolbe 1990;Harris and Olalquiga 1991;Harris et al 1993). These studies generally concluded that there is a positive correlation between cue lure or methyl eugenol trap catches and weather conditions (such as rainfall and humidity) and host fruit availability (Christenson and Foote 1960;Tan and Muney 1994;Papadopoulos et al 2001).…”

Fruit fly (Bactrocera tau) is the most destructive pest on some fruits in Indonesia. Monitoring of the pest population is essential as one of the procedures in the IPM concept. The study aimed to investigate the seasonal fluctuation of adult males of B. tau and their damage on passion fruits in relation to abiotic factors. The research was done by a survey method on three plots of passion fruit orchards in Alahan Panjang, West Sumatra, Indonesia from March to December 2005. In plot 1 the farmer practiced sanitation by removing damaged fruits and weeds from the orchard. In the plots 2 and 3 no sanitation was practiced. Each plot was 1 ha in size. The parameters observed were density of adult male B. tau and climatic factors (rainfall per day, number of rainy days, and average day temperature). Empty mineral water bottle traps were used to catch adult males of B. tau. Each plot had 16 traps set up with cue lure as fruit fly attractant. Each trap was baited with 3 ml cue lure on a cotton wick (1 cm diameter). The cotton wick was rebaited at 2-week intervals. The traps were placed on host plants about 1.5 m above the ground. Trapped flies were collected every two weeks and counted. The data were analyzed by correlation analysis. The results revealed that the number of male B. tau in three orchards showed a similar fluctuation during the study period with a major peak in July. The lower numbers of flies captured in plot 1 (with sanitation) compared to the two other plots (without sanitation) were consistent with a lower percentage of damaged fruits in the plot 1 compared to the other two. The percentage of damaged fruits gradually decreased over time to about 20% in plot 1 which is lower than that in the other two plots (30-40%). The number of fruit flies captured with cue lure baited traps correlated positively with all three abiotic factors studied. The seasonal fluctuation of the fruit fly population and the damage to the fruits are necessary to be studied as a procedure in IPM for controlling B. tau.

“…In some areas, the adult population peaks at the end of spring or at the beginning of summer, as observed in Israel (Rivnay, 1950) and Crete (Michelakis, 1992), whereas in other areas populations grow throughout the summer and reach maximum levels in fall, as in Sardinia and Sicily (Italy) (Delrío, 1986;Benfatto et al, 1987;Ortu et al, 2005). Several factors are considered directly or indirectly responsible for these variations in C. capitata populations: climate, abundance and temporal sequence of suitable host fruits throughout the year, and crop sanitation practices (Harris et al, 1993;Katsoyannos et al, 1998).…”

Seasonal and annual trends in Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) populations were analyzed to determine the factors that influence population fluctuations in the field. Adult flies were monitored along 2003-07 in two citrus areas in eastern Spain with similar climate, Valencia and Tarragona. Adults were present throughout the study period, even in winter. The initial annual population increase was related to previous winter and spring temperatures. Captures started to increase in April-May and usually reached a peak in July. This peak corresponded to the maximum capture period in Valencia, but not in Tarragona, where there was usually a second peak in autumn, with capture levels similar to the first peak. Gravid females were found throughout the year, even in overwintering populations of medfly. The availability of other host fruit species in the vicinity of the citrus groves may explain the differences in annual abundance and distribution of captures between the two areas studied.

“…Evaluation of traps efficiency was previously studied by Cunningham and Couey [18] and By El-Sayed & Darwish [19]. So, it is of importance to point herein that the relative favorability of the habitat for fruit flies is dependent upon a number of unknown factors related to the environment and the insect [20]. …”

Peach Fruit Fly (PFF) Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) and of the Mediterranean fruit fly (MFF) Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) are the most of dominant and destructive key pests in fruit orchards in different agro-ecosystem in Egypt. Population fluctuations of the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) and the peach fly Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) was monitored with lure traps collections in three provinces in the New Valley oases, Western Desert, Egypt. Results showed marked temporal differences in peak trap catches of the two flies in the selected sites all over the entire studied areas. One annual peak of C. capitata was recorded during both October and February and coincided with the ripening period of citrus trees in Kharga oases. However, two annual peaks were recorded during June and September in Bodkholow province and coincided with the ripening period of apple and mango. On the other hand, two annual peaks of B. zonata were recorded in Kharga oases throughout May and September and coincided with the ripening periods of apricot, mango and guava. One annual peak only was recorded round up of September and/or October in both of Moot and Bodkholow in Dakhla oases and coincided with the ripening period of mango, guava and citrus. Occurrence of C. capitata was very limited in comparison with B. zonata. Population fluctuations of the two pests in the studied sites were significantly different. The ability of the used traps in capturing both of C. capitata and B. zonata indicated that the yellow sticky trap was more effective in capturing C. capitata. However, Abdel-Kawi trap was significantly efficient in trapping B. zonata. Occurrence of B. zontata in high numbers all over the study period than C. capitata is considered as a good proof that this invading fly may be consider a vigor competitive tephritid fly to the native fly C. capitata.
