The olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) is the major pest of cultivated olives (Olea europaea L.), and a serious threat in all of the Mediterranean Region. In the present investigation, we demonstrated with traction force experiments that B. oleae female adhesion is reduced by epicuticular waxes (EWs) fruit surface, and that the olive fruit fly shows a different ability to attach to the ripe olive surface of different cultivars of O. europaea (Arbequina, Carolea, Dolce Agogia, Frantoio, Kalamata, Leccino, Manzanilla, Picholine, Nostrale di Rigali, Pendolino and San Felice) in terms of friction force and adhesion, in relation with different mean values of olive surface wettability. Cryo-scanning morphological investigation revealed that the EW present on the olive surface of the different analyzed cultivars are represented by irregular platelets varying in the orientation, thus contributing to affect the surface microroughness and wettability in the different cultivars, and consequently the olive fruit fly attachment. Further investigations to elucidate the role of EW in olive varietal resistance to the olive fruit fly in relation to the olive developmental stage and environmental conditions could be relevant to develop control methods alternative to the use of harmful pesticides.

Olive fruit fly is the most harmful pest of olive fruits and important for oil production. Damage involves yield reduction as a consequence of premature fruit drop, but also a reduced quality of olive oil and olive products. There is little available data regarding the biology of Bactrocera oleae in Montenegro. Knowledge of the pest life cycle and development would improve optimization of insecticide application timing and protection of fruits, and reduce adverse effects on the environment. Investigation was conducted on the Zutica variety in an olive grove located in Bar during a three-year period. Population dynamics of the pre-imaginal stages and level of fruit infestation were monitored from mid-July until the end of October. The results of this three-year investigation showed that the beginning of infestation was always at the end of July. It was also found that, depending on environmental conditions, the level of infestation was low until the end of August. In September and October it multiplied, and reached maximum by the end of October. Regarding infestation structure, eggs and first instar larvae were the dominant developmental stages of the pest until the middle of September. From mid-September until mid-October all developmental stages (eggs, larvae, pupae) were equally present in infested fruits. Pupae, cocoons and abandoned galleries prevailed until the harvest.
