Fruit flies their biology, natural enemies and control
This two volume work surveys the entire spectrum of research on tephritid fruit flies, with individual chapters prepared by experts in the various fields of research. Part A covers taxonomy and zoogeography, pest status, biology and physiology, and behaviour, while Part B covers genetics, rearing, population detection and assessment, ecology, and control. Tephritid fruit flies are very serious pests of fruit and vegetables throughout the world. If uncontrolled these pests are capable of causing substantial crop losses, losses which cannot be tolerated. They also pose a major problem to global trade since many countries have invoked quarantine restrictions to minimize the risk of establishment of exotic species. As a consequence of their economic importance there has been a very extensive research effort devoted to various aspects of their biology, ecology and control. Some very large, innovative control programs have been carried out in several parts of the world.
