AbstractThe study was carried out at two experimental farms in Ismailia Governorate, Egypt, during season of 2015 and 2016. GF-120 (Conserve®0.024% CB) was selected in this study to evaluate its efficacy for controlling the peach fruit fly,Bactrocera zonata(Saunders) and the Mediterranean fruit fly,Ceratitis capitata(Wied.), on mango fruits by using partial bait spray and spots method. GF-120 was used as low environmental impact method and new way to controlB. zonataandC. capitata, compared with malathion 57%, as traditional insecticide. During both seasons, data revealed that the number ofC. capitatacaptured weekly from different treatments and untreated plots was higher than the number ofB. zonatacaptured in both seasons of experiment. Data revealed that the number males ofB. zonataandC. capitatacaptured weekly from sticky traps were lower in trees treated with GF-120 than malathion and untreated plots. In the farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Suez Canal University, the lowest percentages of infestation of both dropping and setting fruits per tree were recorded in plots treated with GF120 (spots), with an average of 25.14 and 17.022% for dropping fruits and 2.2 and 2.0% for setting fruits for 2015 and 2016 season, respectively. Data indicated that the all tested formulation under field condition caused significant reduction in the rate of infestation from 54.92 to 81.79 for both dropping and setting fruits. The lowest percentages of infestations in the private farm of both dropping and setting fruits per tree were recorded in GF-120 (spray treatment), with an average of 20.0, 12.12 for dropping fruits and 3.4 and 4.0 for setting fruits for 2015 and 2016 seasons, respectively.

Pupal Mortality

Abstract The Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is among the main pests of fruit crops worldwide. Biological control using entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) may be an alternative to suppress populations of this pest. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the pathogenicity and virulence of six EPN isolates (Heterorhabditis bacteriophora HB, H. amazonensis IBCB-n24, Steinernema carpocapsae IBCB-n02, S. rarum PAM-25, S. glaseri IBCB-n47, and S. brazilense IBCB-n06) against C. capitata pupae. The compatibility of EPNs with different chemical insecticides that are registered for management of C. capitata was also assessed. Isolates of H. bacteriophora HB and S. brazilense IBCB-n06 at a concentration of 1,000 infective juveniles (IJ)/ml proved to be most pathogenic to C. capitata (70 and 80% mortality, respectively). In contrast, the isolates H. amazonensis IBCB-n24, Steinernema carpocapsae IBCB-n02, S. rarum PAM-25, S. glaseri IBCB-n47 provided pupal mortality of less than 60%. Bioassays to determine lethal concentrations indicated that concentrations of 600 IJ/ml (H. bacteriophora HB) and 1,000 IJ/ml (S. brazilense IBCB-n06) showed the highest virulence against C. capitata pupae. In contrast, the highest numbers of IJs emerged at concentrations of 1,200 and 200 IJ/ml. In compatibility bioassays, malathion, spinetoram, phosmet, acetamiprid, and novaluron were considered compatible with and harmless (Class 1) to H. bacteriophora HB and S. brazilense IBCB-n06, according to IOBC/WPRS. This information is important for implementing integrated management programs for C. capitata, using biological control with EPNs, whether alone or in combination with chemical insecticides.
