Olive fruit fly populations measured in Central and Southern California [PDF]
California Agriculture, 2003 The olive fruit fly was detected in Southern California in October 1998. This nonnative pest, which can render fruit unmarketable, has since moved throughout California and is now believed to be present wherever olives are grown in the state. Seasonlong trapping of adult flies in the San Joaquin Valley, and Ventura and Santa Barbara counties in 2001 ...

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...

Methods for the Identification of Microclimates for Olive Fruit Fly [PDF]
Agronomy, 2019 The support and development of the primary agri-food sector is receiving increasing attention. The complexity of modern farming issues has lead to the widespread penetration of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Decision Support Systems (DSS). IPM DSSs are heavily dependent on numerous conditions of the agro-ecological environment used for cultivation ...

Influence of olive fruit fly attack on quality and composition of ‘Rosinjola’ virgin olive oil
Acta Horticulturae, 2018 In this work the influence of olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae (Rossi)) attack on the quality of ´Rosinjola’ cv. virgin olive oil (free fatty acids, peroxide value, specific extinction on 232 and 270 nm, and sensory evaluation) as well as on the fatty acid and volatile composition was investigated.

Insect Science, EarlyView.Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...
