Abstract | ||||
Ovipositional preference of peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) (Diptera: Tephritidae) was examined by using some usual and unusual horticultural and vegetable fruits. In addition to the known hosts list of the pest, it attacked two varieties of palm date and grape. Also, evaluation of susceptibility of three varieties of eggplant, tomato, mask tomato, potato and other cucurbits was elicited. Egg-larval and pupal durations in each separate plant fruit were determined. Also, total life cycle and percentage of adult emergence, life cycle and sex ratio were discussed. | ||||
