Experiment code 17.3.3.102
Experiment Title Survey of fruit fly infesting major fruits and cucurbit vegetable crops of south Gujarat
Research Type Survey Work
Experiment Background South Gujarat is leading in fruits and vegetable production in Gujarat state. Three districts viz., Surat, Navsari and Valsad are included in agri-export zone for fruits and vegetables, which require quality production. Fruit flies are the major constraint which ravages considerable loss in terms of quality and production. Moreover, these flies are good fliers and thereby their spread is also very high and hence area wide adoption of management strategy can only be useful against the flies. Fruit flies, although a serious pest, are largely uncontrolled or controlled by cover sprays of insecticides which are undesirable in fruits and vegetables. Looking to the changing climate the data on species prevailing in south Gujarat are very less so to know the abundance of different species of fruit flies infesting major fruits and cucurbit vegetable crops with following objectives.
