دراسة على بعض عوائل ذبابة الفاكهة Ceratitis capitata Wied (Diptera : Terphritidae)‎ في المناطق المرتفعة في الأردن

Abstract EN

The present study revealed that early peach cultivars especially those which ripen before mid-june did not suffer from medfly infestation since the medfly population was very low at that time.

the late ripening peach cultivars such as michelini, fayette and babygold were heavily infested by medfly and infestation level reached 80 and 96 % for michelini and babygold, respectively.

mean number of larvae reached 30 per fruit for babygold and 25 for michelini.

however, there were no significant differences between infestation levels of peach tree periphery and the inner side.

infestation level of pear, apple, quince and fig reached 60, 41,8, 26.7 and 25 %, respectively.

mean number of larvae per fruit for pear, apple, quince and fig reached 5, 3.5, 20.4 and 4.1, respectively.
