Description
Artificial rearing of the Chinese citrus fly, Dacus citri (Chen), is described. It was found that the appropriate irradiation stage for sterilization treatment is at the last pupal phase, one or two days before emergence, and that 9 krad of irradiation is a suitable dose for sterilizing D. citri. A total of 56,000 and 95,000 irradiated sterile males of D. citri were released in the Zhonglian orchard (about 34 ha) in Huishui County, Guizhou Province, in 1987 and 1989, respectively. The release ratio of sterile to native fruit flies was 12.5:1 and 45:1. The percentage of oranges damaged by D. citri dropped from 7.5 to 0.005. (author). 5 refs, 4 tabs
