Pest bioecology and management strategies for the genus Bactrocera (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Keywords:
Bactrocera, agro ecosystem, bioecology, sustainable managementAbstract
Fruit flies a significant pest in the genus Bactrocera (Diptera: Tephritidae), can easily infect agricultural crops like fruits, nuts, and vegetables around the world. More than 170 varieties of vegetables and fruits are seriously affected by B. dorsalis, B. cucurbitae, B. zonata, B. tau, B. tryoni, B. correcta, B. latifrons, B. olae in India. The situation deteriorates when these pests are controlled with chemicals that create secondary pest outbreak, pest reawakening, and development of pesticide resistance as well as emergence of pest biotypes, and regulatory complications in the agro ecosystems. To protect the environment and the crops, there has to be an alternative way to terminate these pests. The literature review gives a comprehensive overview on the genus Bactrocera. The paper focuses on bioecology and management strategies for the pest, as well as the key gaps in literature for sustainable management of this pest in near future.
