| Abstract | The objective of this research was to investigate species diversity and seasonal occurrence of fruit flies in santol orchards of Lop Buri province. The fruit flies were collected using 2 methods viz., 1) using traps and bait, and 2) collected santol fruits that infested with fruit flies incubate in the laboratory. The traps captured 4 species namely, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), Bactrocera correcta (Bezzi), Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett), and Zeugodacus tau (Walker). The infested santol fruits were observed 2 fruit flies species namely, B. dorsalis and B. correcta with infestation rate of 23.47?5.05 and 11.25?7.64 flies/kg, respectively. The mean number of captured fruit flies was the highest in rainy (527.60?28.94 flies/trap/week), followed by summer and cool season (499.47?31.60 and 343.78?25.20 flies/trap/week, respectively). The number of captured fruit flies in rainy and summer was not significantly different (p>0.05) but significantly higher than in cool season (p<=0.05). The highest captured species in all seasons was B. dorsalis with significantly higher than the other species (p<=0.05). This study observed that the fruit flies were widespread in all seasons with high prevalence in rainy (during the fruiting period) and summer, while B. dorsalis was the highest occurred species. |
