Hot-water treatment for control of Anastrepha suspensa (Diptera: Tephritidae) in mangos
Heated water was tested as an alternative quarantine treatment method for ethylene dibromide fumigation to control Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) infestations of eggs and 1- to 2-day-old larvae in "Tommy Atkins" and "Keitt" Florida mangos. Submersion of fruit (size 8 to 12 or 881 plus minus 40-469 plus minus 18 g) for 45-65 min in water at 46.1-46.7 degrees C produced 10 and 7 pupae, respectively, that did not eclose in an estimated treated population of 37,896 from "Tommy Atkins" and 49,026 from "Keitt" mangos. The treatment produced no visible injury to the fruit
