Abstract: The objective of this research was to determine the population dynamics and the diversity of fruit flies (Te­phritidae) in a mixed orchard containing the mango (Mangifera indica) cultivars Haden, Tommy Atkins and Palmer, at the town of Presidente Prudente town, SP, Brazil. The population dynamics of fruit flies was measured from November 2005 to December 2007 through; weekly samplings of the adult insects, using yellow-bottomed McPhail traps baited with hydrolyzed protein. A total of 65,956 Tephritidae specimens was collected in nine traps, of which 2,788 were Anastrepha spp. (4.23%) and 63,168 Ceratitis capitata (95.77%). A total of 1,229 female specimens of Anastrepha was captured, of which 91.7% were A. obliqua, 3.3% A. fraterculus, 1.4% A. sororcula, 1.0% A. pseudoparalella and 0.7% A. striata. The remaining consisted of A. barbiellinii, A. daciformi, A. haywardi, A. zenildae, A. leptozona and A. montei. Ceratitis capitata and A. obliqua were the dominant species. In general, the highest densities of fruit flies occurred during the fruit-ripening period (from November to March), which is characterized by increased rainfall levels and high temperatures.

Introduction

Mangoes (Mangifera indica L.) are native to South Asia and were only grown in Africa, the Americas and the Caribbean after the settlement of European explorations. Currently, mangoes are found worldwide in most tropical and subtropical areas (Donadio and Ferreira 2002; Waite 2002).

According to the Brazilian Agricultural Economics Institute (IEA), the state of São Paulo had a total of 2´349.963 mango trees in 2008, with a production of 81´92.243 boxes of 22 kg each. São Paulo’s production focuses primarily on the domestic market, particularly the large consumer centers in southeastern and southern Brazil, because it has the lower shipping cost as its main competitive advantage. The more recent orchards located in cities in the São Paulo, features varieties such as Tommy Atkins and Palmer, which have the potential to the export market.

High-quality fruits, free of pests, diseases and physiological disorders, are highly valuable commodities for exports. Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are limiting factors for the international exports of mangoes (Cunha et al. 2000). The fruit fly larvae causes significant losses in fruit growing, as they feed on fresh fruits, making them improper for freshconsumption and industrialization (Orth et al. 1986).

A survey of the costs for implementing a fruit fly control program in Bahia indicated a total cost of 9.2% of the total mango production income, which included the costs of running the program in years of low infestation (Aguiar and Nascimento 2006).

Veloso (1997), based on trap collections from mango trees in Goiânia (GO), found A. obliqua (Macquart) and A. fraterculus (Wiedemann) in rural areas, and C. capitata in urban areas.

Several studies report the preference of A. obliqua for fruits of Anacardiaceae (Jirón et al. 1988; Jirón and Hedstrom 1991; Malavasi et al. 2000). Interspecies interaction studies done by Camargo et al. (1996) suggest that A. obliqua is a better competitor than C. capitata; this dominance may be attributed to the size of A. obliqua that are three times higher that C. capitata. Nascimento and Carvalho (2000) verified the predominance of A. obliqua in mango tree varieties regarded as "wild";, such as ‘Coité’, ‘Dedo-de-Dama’ and ‘Peito-de-Moça’.

In Brazil, a large number of fruit fly species (Zucchi 2000a) are reported, but only few species cause economic damages. The objective of the present study was to identify the fruit fly diversity and to determine the population dynamic of tephritids in a mixed mango orchard, located a town in the western region of São Paulo State in Brazil.

Material and Methods

The study was carried out from November 2005 to December 2007, in a mixed mango orchard, which included approximately 600 plants, distributed among varieties such as ‘Haden’, ‘Tommy Atkins’ and ‘Palmer’, located in the Espigão district, a municipality of Presidente Prudente in São Paulo State, Brazil (UTM 7545288.76m N, 459930.31m E, elevation 424,29 masl). The plants were more than 13 years old, and they were arranged in spacing of 9 x 4 m for cv. ‘Palmer’, 9 x 6 m for ‘Haden’, and 10 x 8 m for ‘Tommy Atkins’. The orchard had 35.960 m², corresponding to 120, 260 and 220 plants of ‘Palmer’, ‘Haden’ and ‘Tommy Atkins’, respectively. The rainfall and temperature data were obtained from the Meteorological Station of the Faculty of Science and Technology/UNESP, campus of Presidente Prudente, SP, approximately 11 km from the orchard (Figure 1).

To determine the fluctuation in the population of Tephritidae adults at the mango orchard, nine yellow-bottomed McPhail traps were set - four for the ‘Haden’ variety, three for ‘Tommy Atkins’, and two for ‘Palmer’. Hydrolyzed protein-based food baits were used, (Isca Tecnologias Brasil Ltda.®), diluted in water at 5% v/v. The traps were placed inside the canopy at 1.80 m in high and spaced 70 m from each other. A total of 400 mL of food bait was used per trap, refilled every seven days, at which time the contents of the trap were removed, transferred to 500 mL glass jars, and transported to the Plant Quality and Health Laboratory of the Alta Sorocabana Regional Center, SP. The Tephritidaespecimens were counted, sexed, fixed in 70% alcohol and kept in properly labeled flasks for later identification. The identification of Anastrepha was based on the keys developed by Steyskal (1977) and Zucchi (2000a).

A fauna analysis was performed during three years (2005, 2006 and 2007), using the occurrence and dominance indices of fruit flies, based on Silveira Neto et al. (1976). The population fluctuation results for Tephritidae adults between 2006 and 2007 were presented graphically as the number of captured flies/trap/day (FTD). The data for 2005 were not considered in the population fluctuation, as samplings lasted only one month, because of the low number of flies capture.

Results and Discussion

A total of 65,956 Tephritidae specimens was captured, comprising 63,168 specimens of C. capitata (95.77% of the total) and 2,788 specimens of Anastrepha spp. (4.23% of the total). C. capitata was represented by 46.74% of males and 56.26% of females; for Anastrepha spp., 55.92% were males and 44.08% females. The highest capture of fruit flies took place in 2006 (93.6%), with 96.21% of that total consisting of C. capitata and 3.78% of Anastrepha spp.

A total of 1,229 female specimens of Anastrepha and 33,647 specimens of C. capitata were captured during the study period, in mixed orchard mango. The total number of captured Anastrepha specimens in traps was divided among A. obliqua (91.7%), A. fraterculus (Wied.) (3.3%), A. sororcula Zucchi, 1979 (1.4%), A. pseudoparalella (Loew, 1873) (1.0%), A. striata Schiner, 1868 (0.7%), A. barbiellinii Lima, 1938 (0.2%), A. daciformis Bezzi ,1909 (0.08%), A. haywardi Blanchard 1961 (0.08%), A. zenildae Zucchi, 1979 (0.08%), A. leptozona Hendel, 1914 (0.6%) and A. montei Lima, 1934 (0.9%) (Table 1). The specimens obtained in this work were generally monomorphic, following the pattern featured in the description of the species, with the exception of A. obliqua, which showed variations in the aculeus apex. According to Araújo and Zucchi (2006), the measurements of the aculeus (total and apex) of Anastrepha species vary throughout its geographic distribution and also among the exemplars obtained from a single host.

The occurrence of A. haywardi represents the second record of this species in Brazil, which was found for the first time in Mato Grosso do Sul by Uchôa-Fernandes and Zucchi (2000). McPhail traps can attract different Anastrepha species, at different degrees of intensity (Aluja et al. 1989). Anastrepha pickeli, and A. montei are related to cassava crops in adjacent areas to the orchard (Montes et al. 2010). In the case of A. daciformis and A. haywardi captured in traps, both species have no known hosts (Zucchi 2000b; Souza-Filho et al. 2000). In Brazil, A. fraterculus, A. obliqua, A. pseudoparallela and A. turpiniae Stone 1942 have been reported in mango crop (Zucchi 2000b). Of the 12 Tephritidae species collected in our study, seven had already been reported by Raga et al. (1996), using McPhail traps installed in a citrus orchard located in Presidente Prudente: C. capitata, A. fraterculus, A. barbiellinii, A. sororcula, A. obliqua, A. leptozona and A. dissimilis Stone, 1942.

In Costa Rica, Jirón and Hedstrom (1991) using McPhail traps, with Torula yeast plus borax as attractant, collected 97.6% Anastrepha spp. Schinner, 2.0% C. capitata (Wied.) and 0.4% Toxotrypana curvicauda Gerstaecker. Anastrepha obliqua was the species most closely associated with mango. Garcia et al. (2003a, 2003b) observed that, in four municipalities of western Santa Catarina State, there was a dominance of A. fraterculus on orange, lemon, peach, tangerine and plum orchards, peaking in December and January. This period coincides with the beginning of fruit ripening and also with the occurrence of C. capitata in most orchards already studied in Brazil, except on orange fields in the municipality of São Carlos, SP.

It is likely that the high numbers of C. capitata captured in traps is due to the presence of coffee (Coffea arabica L.) plantations in the vicinity of the mango orchard - a phenomenon already reported by Mariconi and Iba (1955). According to Bateman (1972), fruit flies can show non-dispersive movements related to fruit availability, as flies need resources for feeding and oviposition. In the absence of food in the orchard, flies improve dispersive or migratory movements.

Considering the preference of C. capitata for coffee and peach as hosts (Raga et al. 2002; Souza-Filho et al. 2009), it is possible to infer that the dominance of C. capitata may have been caused by medfly migration following the coffee harvest season in Presidente Prudente, SP. In the same year, there were still coffee cherries in the second half of July until the first half of August. Although native to Africa, C. capitata has occurred with higher frequency in introduced fruit species in Brazil, even in tropical areas (Souza-Filho et al. 2000).

The Anastrepha species recorded in the present study occurred rarely, with the exception of A. obliqua, which received the status of a constant species (Table 2). Ceratitis capitata and A. obliqua were the dominant species for cultivars Haden and Tommy Atkins, whereas for cultivar Palmer it was an accessory, not dominant species. The remaining species of Anastrepha detected in this study were not dominant.

Lima et al. (2004), recorded 837 tephritids adults from Tommy Atkins mango orchard located in the Rio Grande do Norte State, with the dominance of C. capitata (76.34%) besides A. sororcula, A. fraterculus, A. obliqua, A. pickeli Lima 1934 and A. serpentina (Wied. 1830). The fly/trap/day (FTD) value was 0.05 for C. capitata and 0.02 for Anastrepha spp.

In the state of Goiás, Ferreira et al. (2003) reported A. obliqua (48.78%), A. fraterculus (47.97%), A. sororcula (2.03%), A. turpiniae Stone 1942 (1.22%) and Neosilba sp. (Lonchaeidae), with preference by Tommy Atkins and Imperial.In the Amazon region, Silva (1993) characterized four locations with regard to frequency and dominance of fruit flies collected in host fruits, and concluded that A. obliqua was predominant. In Minas Gerais, Canal et al. (1998) concluded that C. capitata was predominant in urban areas and A. obliqua plus A. zenildae in rural areas, whose dominance may show variations according to the region and host fruit availability. In the present study, we obtained predominance of C. capitata and A. obliqua on mango. Probably, the occurrences of the remainder Tephritidae species are due to migration for food and shelter.

Population dynamics of fruit flies. The population fluctuation of a C. capitata in the mango orchard occurred between May and August 2006, peaking in June-July (Figs. 2A-C). In the period from September 2006 to April 2007, the Mediterranean fruit fly was practically absent, and only one population peak took place in 2006. In 2007, a peak was also observed in July and in November (Figs. 3A-C) a likely incursion of C. capitata from other orchards. Considering that C. capitata shows a preference for coffee and peach (Raga et al. 2002; Souza-Filho et al. 2009), it is likely that Mediterranean fruit fly populations migrated to the experimental area after the coffee harvest. The coffee harvest normally occurs from May to June, sometimes extending until July (Table 3), which allows fruit flies to complement their life cycle, resulting in population migration in search of food and shelter (Raga et al. 2002). Montes et al. (2012) collected 36,932 individuals of C. capitata in McPhail traps installed in a coffee orchard, from 2005 to 2007, with population peaks in May, June and July.

The population peak of fruit flies in São Paulo State generally occurs between the months of September and December (Suplicy Filho et al. 1978, 1987; Raga et al. 1996). This is due particularly to the great supply of host fruits during that period, combined with favorable climatic conditions. Outside that time frame, the population peak of A. fraterculus is observed between March and April, in the season for precocious citrus varieties and guava (Souza-Filho and Raga 1998; Raga et al. 2004; Raga et al. 2006).

In general, Anastrepha species showed high densities during the period of abundance for ripe mango fruits –November to March– with intense rainfall and high temperatures (Fig. 1A and 1B, Table 3). The association of Anastrepha occurrence with the fruiting of mango was also observed by Jirón and Hedstrom (1991) and Soto-Manitu and Jirón (1989), in Costa Rica. Martínez and Godoy (1986) observed that meteorological factors exert little influence on the population fluctuation of A. obliqua, in mango orchards in Venezuela.

The results of this study may contribute to a better understanding of the fruit fly community in mango. These data will be of a great importance for the implementation of an integrated pest management program for fruit flies in the studied area.
