Abstract
Guava, Psidium guajava L., is the prime fruit of India and is cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions. in which there are two important fruit flies, Bactrocera dorsalis and Bactrocera diversus, may destroy up to 100% of the fruits and affect both the quantity and quality of the fruits. Because of their polyphagous, multivoltine, highly mobile, and their immature stages are protected inside the fruits, the fruit fly extremely difficult to manage. To manage the fruit flies, the application of insecticides will disrupt the agroecosystem. As a result, the potential of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach in controlling these flies through male annihilation and bait application techniques is eco-friendly and novel.
