Monitoring and management of fruitfly (Bactrocera zonata) population on peach (Pronus persica) Quetta Balochistan-Pakistan

Present investigation was conducted on the monitoring and management of fruit fly (Bactrocera zonata) population on peach in different locations of Quetta region (Hanna Orak) during 2017. The experiment consists of following IPM treatments (Sanitation + Methyl-Eugenol, without sanitation + Methyl-Eugenol, Sanitation + Protein hydrolysis baits, without sanitation + Protein hydrolysis baits, Neem Extract + Methyl-Eugenol and Neem Extract + Protein hydrolysis baits). The results of current finding showed that peak population of Bactrocera zonata (1223.2±66.74 larvae/trap) was trapped under Methyl eugenol with sanitation Neem extract followed by Neem Extract + Methyl-Eugenol (1187.6±64.80 larvae/trap), Sanitation + Methyl-Eugenol (1153±62.84 larvae/trap), Sanitation + Protein hydrolysis baits (1064±31.40 larvae/trap), Neem Extract + Protein hydrolysis baits (959.8±43.50 larvae/trap), without sanitation + Methyl-Eugenol (932±42.26 larvae/trap), without sanitation (870.97±76.76 larvae) and Without sanitation + Protein hydrolysis baits (724±80.59 larvae/trap) on 30th September. Similar trend was observed for minimum population of Bactrocera zonata trapped under different IPM treatments. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) depicted highly significant difference (p
