All over the world fruits are the favourite and demanded food, so the market demands high fruit production. But many farmers face the attack of fruit flies Bactrocera dorsalis, commonly known as the oriental fruit fly, is a significant pest that affects a wide range of fruits. It poses a threat to agriculture due to its ability to infest and damage fruits, leading to economic losses. The oriental fruit fly causes damage to fruit and vegetables, including apricot, avocado, banana, citrus, coffee, fig, guava, loquat, mango, rose apple, papaya, passion fruit, peach, pear, persimmon, pineapple, and tomato. However, avocado, mango and papaya are the most commonly affected.
To mitigate the impact of Bactrocera dorsalis on fruits, We GREEN VICTORY introduce
FRUIT FLY PHEROMONE TRAP PHEROMONE, a complete IPM technique.
The fruit fly trap is designed in such a way that it can catch and retain more flies without escaping and can attain consistent catch with fruit fly pheromone. The traps are available in two different sizes of 7 cm and 14 cm height which is attached with pheromone sachet of different quantities of 1000 mg (3/acre) with three months longevity and 2000 mg (2/acre) with five months longevity as per the requirement. These pheromones are coated with wax for the maximum field longevity. The active ingredient of the pheromone is Methyl eugenol. The pheromones are of shelf life 2 years from the manufacturing date. The plastic trap container is UV protected so that it can withstand the fluctuating climatic conditions. The trap consists of a transparent bottom of cylindrical shape and a lid which protect the trap from water entering. These traps are reusable, and the pheromones are replaceable. Our product is produced specifically in such a way that it ensures the protection of fruit production from fruit fly infestation.

The oriental fruit fly lays eggs in ripe and maturing fruits. The hatched larvae feed on the fruit, causing damage to its flesh. Infested fruits can become unsuitable for consumption due to larval feeding, which can lead to premature ripening, rotting, and increased susceptibility to diseases. Infested fruits may show signs of damage, including punctures, oviposition scars, and the presence of larvae. This negatively affects the visual appearance, taste, and overall quality of the fruit. Infestations of Bactrocera dorsalis can lead to trade restrictions on fruits from affected areas, impacting international trade and the economy. Controlling Bactrocera dorsalis can be challenging due to its reproductive capacity, rapid spread, and resistance to certain pesticides, but we ensure your fruit is protected from fruit flies. Our trap and pheromone are ecofriendly and nontoxic which will help to reduce the effect of fruit fly and that will improve the productivity of your firm.
ALWAYS PLACE PHEROMONE TRAP TO THE CORNER OF THE FIELDAS THESE PHEROMONE TRAP ACTS AS A BARRICADE. ONCE THE TRAP IS INSTALLED, IT STARTS TO LURE THE INSECTS AND SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO HUNG OUTSIDE THE FILED.
Mated female Fruit fly puncture the skin of mature fruit and deposit eggs in a few batches of 3-30 eggs underneath a fruit's skin via ovipositor, depending on the quality and ripeness of the fruit. Eggs usually hatch within a day, although the hatching process can be delayed in cool conditions. Females are capable of laying over 3,000 eggs during their lifetime.
Eggs hatch to larvae and while feeding on the flesh of the fruit for about 6–35 days. The third instar larvae exit the fruit and burrow into the soil under the host plant to pupate. Larvae generally pupate in the upper 4 cm of the soil. Pupation can take approximately 10–12 days. In 1-2 weeks, the adult emerges from the pupae and matures. Adults engage in the mating process and the life cycle repeats. The adult lifespan for Bactrocera Dorsalis or Fruit Fly is about 90 days.
