In the first season (1997), medfly male catches per trap per day `CTO" ranged between 0.07 to 16.14 and percentages of infestation ranged between 8.5 to 100 % in untreated orchard, while the 4CTD' ranged between 0.03 to 2_14 and 0_07 to 6.00 and percentages of infestation ranged between 1.00 % to 21.40 % and 4.00 % to 57_00 % in the 1st and 2nd treated orchards, respectively. Percentages reduction in adult population ranged between 57.14 % to 91.51 % and 42.00 % to 74.78 % and percentages reduction in fruit infestation ranged between 82.60 % to 89.00 % and 43.00 % to 53.37 % at the two treatment guava orchards, respectively. f in the second season (199B), the "CTI2e ranged between 0.07 to 14.07 and percentages of infestation ranged between 5.50 % to 100 % in untreated orchard, while the 'CTD" ranged between 0.03 to 2.91 and 0.07 to 5.29 and percentages of infestation ranged between 1.00 % to 27.80 % and 2.50 % to 58.50 % in the and 2nd orchards. respectively.
