Mortality of olive fruit fly pupae in California

Biocontrol Science and Technology, 2007
Efforts to control the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae), in California have focused on insecticidal baits and biological control by parasitoids, which primarily target the adult and larval stages, respectively. The pupal stage, which occurs in the soil, has largely been overlooked.

Bactrocera oleae (olive fruit fly).

2021
Abstract B. oleae is considered the most important pest of cultivated olives, Olea europaea L., in many of the areas of the Mediterranean basin, affecting the quality and quantity of both olive oil and table olives (Michelakis and Neuenschwander, 1983; Manousis and Moore, 1987; Economopoulos, 2002). Unlike the fruits attacked by most

Olive Fruit Fly: Managing an Ancient Pest in Modern Times

Annual Review of Entomology, 2010
Olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is the major pest of commercial olives worldwide. Various aspects of its biology, ecology, management, and impact on olive production are highlighted. With the discovery of insecticidal resistance in some populations frequently treated with organophosphates, old and new control options ...

Simulation of fruit fly population dynamics, with particular reference to the olive fruit fly, Dacus oleae

Ecological Modelling, 1988
Abstract The fruit flies Dacus oleae and Dacus tryoni have ecological behav number of multivoltine tephritids. In particular, their dynamics appear to be largely controlled by climatic factors and by host availability, rather than by predators and parasites.

Location-aware system for olive fruit fly spray control

Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2010
Location awareness is essential for many Precision Farming (PF) tasks with strong spatiotemporal, environmental, public health and food safety characteristics. Nevertheless, its role is much more crucial in PF tasks with efficacy depending mainly on local climate conditions and the collaboration of users.

Improving olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) adult and larval artificial diets, microflora associated with the fly and evaluation of a transgenic olive fruit fly strain

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2014
Research on the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) - rearing simplification, insect microflora and transgenic strain evaluation - yielded several findings: (1) incorporation of antibiotics in the adult diet is evidently not needed; (2) colonization appears to be easier when wild adults are collected from the field instead of using mature larvae ...

Larger olive fruit size reduces the efficiency of Psyttalia concolor, as a parasitoid of the olive fruit fly

Biological Control, 2009
The larval parasitoid, Psyttalia concolor (Szepligeti), has been released for biological control of the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), in California. The effect of olive (Olea europaea L.) fruit size on parasitism efficiency was quantified within one cultivar (Sevillano) and across four different sized cultivars (in order of decreasing size:

Biogenesis of sex pheromones in the female olive fruit-fly

Chemical Communications, 1998
A likely pathway to the sex pheromones of Bactrocera oleae (olive fruit-fly) is presented, based mainly on feeding experiments with deuterium labelled precursors.

Low temperature storage effects on two olive fruit fly parasitoids

BioControl, 2012
Effects of cold storage temperatures and storage duration were evaluated for Psyttalia humilis (Silvestri) from Namibia and Psyttalia ponerophaga (Silvestri) from Pakistan, braconid parasitoids of Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) imported to California, USA. Immature stages of P.
