Synopsis

Protect your fruit and your harvest with trusted, research-backed insights into the Mediterranean fruit-fly.

This book surveys the Mediterranean fruit-fly, a serious pest that has challenged fruit cultivation in many regions. It compiles observations from multiple countries and renowned entomologists, tracing its history, spread, and impact on crops like oranges, peaches, and citrus.

- Learn the life cycle: eggs, larvae (maggots), puparia, and the adult fly, including how long each stage lasts and what triggers development.
- Understand habits and damage: how the fly lays eggs under the fruit skin, which fruits are most affected, and how infestations unfold in the field.
- Explore control history: attempts at suppression, including fruit destruction, baiting, and the limits of chemical and cultural methods.
- See geographic context: where the insect has appeared, how it spread, and why prevention is critical for orchard health.

Ideal for readers of agricultural history and economic entomology seeking a concise, period-spanning view of a major fruit-pest.
