摘要：

Fruit flies are a serious pest in Pakistan, causing losses, at the farm level, of an estimated $200 million annually, with added losses to traders, retailers and exporters. Small farmers suffer in particular, being the main growers of the highly susceptible guava and being unable to afford protection measures. The use of cover insecticide sprays against fruit flies is widespread and increasing. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
