Fruit fly and their management by IPM techniques in Balochistan
Main Article Content
Abstract
Current study was carried out based on the management of fruit fly by IPM techniques in the field of Quetta Balochistan. The experiment included the following IPM treatments (sanitation + Methyl-Eugenol, no sanitation + Methyl-Eugenol, sanitation + proteolysis bait, no sanitation + proteolysis bait, Neem extract + Methyl-Eugenol and Neem extract + proteolysis bait. Two test plots were chosen one with sanitation and the other one without sanitation. In each plot, five traps were set. Data was collected for a fortnight until fruit harvesting ended. In present investigation to control pest population of fruit fly we used different fruit fly trap in different methods. A maximum peach population of male fruit fly was observed in methyl eugenol plus 5 % malathion in without sanitation field orchard (660.30±4.31), while similar results also were noticed in female fruit fly population by protein hydrolysate plus 10 % deltamethrin in without sanitation field orchard (540.5±2.73). However, a minimum peach population of male fruit fly was observed in methy eugenol plus 5 % malathion in sanitation field orchard (462.46±1.71).
