Abstract:

Fruit flies decrease economic percentage of Pakistan by damaging variety of fruits and vegetables and reduce agricultural production. Eleven Species of fruit flies are recorded from Pakistan, but three of which Bactrocera dorsalis, Bactrocera cucurbitae , Bactrocera zonata that attack on apple, mango, beer, guava, musk melon, bitter ground and snake ground are serious pest species. In this research work Laboratory studies were carried out in Ayub Agriculture Research Institute Faisalabad to check efficacy of different insecticides and plant extracts after the time intervals of 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours against peach fruit fly on guava fruit. Emerging adult flies were used in the experiment. Six insecticides viz., Corajin (DU PONT ®/20 EC) Imidacloprid (Crown ®/20 SL) Aceta maprid (Admire ®/20 SL) Steward (DU PONT ®/12.5 EC) Flufenoxuron (Cascade®/05 ES) and NitenPyramid (Capstar®/10 SL) at their recommended doses and two botanical extracts viz ., Neem seed oil and kur-tuma fruit extract were used for peach fruit fly. The order of toxicity on the basis of mortality after 48 hours was recorded as Coragen > Steward > Flufenoxuron > Acetamiprid > Niten pyramid > Imidacloprid > Neem seed oil > Kor-tuma fruit extract.
