ABSTRACT
Population fluctuation of oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), was monitored
by using methyl eugenol traps during May, 2011 to December, 2011 and May, 2016
to December, 2016 in mango orchard farms of Department of Agricultural Research
in Yezin, Myanmar. In 2011, the highest mean number of male oriental fruit
flies/trap/day (241.42 ± 11.79) was recorded in June and the lowest (2.21 ±
0.40) in December. The highest mean number of male oriental fruit
flies/trap/day (388.95 ± 8.56) was recorded in the month of June and the lowest (2.33 ± 0.20) in December, 2016.
Population data were correlated with meteorological data including temperature,
duration of sunshine, and rainfall. Population fluctuation of male fruit flies
was positively correlated with temperature and rainfall, and negatively correlated
with the duration of sunshine.
