Studies of Tomato Fruit Flies (Neoceratitis cyanescens): A Serious Pest on Tomato Crop
Shantaram Bhoye*
Abstract
Tomato is a key food crop in India, grown in different states and producing different products. It is a rich source of vitamins, minerals and fiber and is used in a variety of dishes. However, it is threatened by various insect pests, including the serpentine leaf miner, fruit fly, mealybugs, red mites, thrips and whiteflies. Fruit flies, especially Neoceratitis cyanescens are the most serious pests of fruits and vegetables worldwide, causing millions of dollars in damage annually. These pests reduce tomato quality and cause abortion, with losses varying between 30-100% depending on the season. Fruit flies are more demanding on ripe tomato fruits than on young ones. Female flies deposit their eggs in the fruit using their ovipositor, causing the color to change. The adult larvae eat the flesh, making the fruits unfit for consumption. Larval development depends on host fruit nutrients, size, developmental period, and maturation time of adult flies.
