| olive fruit fly (diptera: tephritidae) populations in relation to region, trap type, season, and availability of fruit. | olive fruit fly, bactrocera oleae (gmelin), was monitored with adult captures by season and trap type, and was related to fruit volume and nonharvested fruit to elucidate the occurrence of the newly introduced pest in california. the highest numbers of adults captured in champ traps in olive trees, olea europaea, were in october in an inland valley location, and in september in a coastal location. comparisons of trap types showed that the number of olive fruit fly adults captured in pherocon am ... | 2006 | 17195675 |
| psyttalia cf. concolor (hymenoptera: braconidae) for biological control of olive fruit fly (diptera: tephritidae) in california. | the larval parasitoid, psyttalia cf. concolor (szépligeti), reared on mediterranean fruit fly, ceratitis capitata (weidemann), by the usda-aphis-ppq, guatemala city, guatemala, was imported into california for biological control of olive fruit fly, bactrocera oleae (gmelin), in olives, olea europaea l. mean percentage parasitism of olive fruit fly third instars infesting fruit in field cages ranged from 7.0 in grapevine to 59.7 in santa barbara and in free releases ranged from 0 in grapevine to ... | 2008 | 18559183 |
| olive fruit fly (diptera: tephritidae) ovipositional preference and larval performance in several commercially important olive varieties in california. | the olive fruit fly, bactrocera oleae (gmelin) (diptera: tephritidae),is an invasive pest of olives (olea spp.) in the united states. the objectives of this study were to determine whether b. oleae exhibits ovipositional preference under california field conditions similar to that demonstrated in european populations and whether the resulting larvae fare better in preferred varieties. female b. oleae exhibited strong ovipositional preference for certain varieties of the domesticated olive, olea ... | 2008 | 18613575 |
| olive fruit fly (diptera: tephritidae) in california: longevity, oviposition, and development in canning olives in the laboratory and greenhouse. | the biology of olive fruit fly, bactrocera oleae (rossi), was studied in the laboratory, greenhouse, and in canning olives, olea europaea l., in relation to california regional climates. adults survived in laboratory tests at constant temperatures and relative humidities of 5 degrees c and 83%; 15 degrees c and 59%; 25 degrees c and 30%; and 35 degrees c and 29% for 15, 6, 3, and 2 d without provisions of food and water and for 37, 63, 25, and 4 d with provisions, respectively. in a divided gree ... | 2012 | 22420271 |
| seasonal pheromone trap catches of male bactrocera oleae (diptera: tephritidae) in northern california: asynchrony with host (olive tree) phenology? | bactrocera oleae (rossi) (diptera: tephritidae, dacinae) is an oligophagous species that feeds only on cultivated olives (olea europaea l.) and its close relatives. synchrony of seasonal activity patterns of b. oleae, the olive fruit fly with its host's phenology is therefore expected. the objective of this study was to monitor the male olive fruit fly response to female sex pheromone in the field. white sticky traps were deployed year round for 3 yr in an olive orchard in oroville, ca. they wer ... | 2013 | 24468560 |
