Discussion

Research assesses species distribution and pest management strategies in sweet orange orchards, indicating altitude impacts and lure effectiveness.

Fruit fly populations decreased at higher elevations, illustrating the influence of altitude on species dynamics.
Bactrocera dorsalis and B. zonata were dominant species, captured effectively with Methyl Eugenol traps.
A factorial randomized complete block design facilitated comprehensive data collection across three altitude ranges.
Findings highlight the importance of strategic lure selection in integrated pest management for crop protection.

Bohara et al. (2025) studied this question.
