Population Dynamics of Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) (Diptera: Tephretidae) on Mangifera indica (L.) (Anacardiaceae) and Correlation with Weather Parameters

The population dynamics of fruit fly Bactrocera zonata Saunders (Diptera: Tephritidae) was carried out by installing "Nauroji-Stonehouse Fruit Fly Trap" in the mango orchard organic farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India during period 2021-22. B. prevailed throughout year with its peak activity from 14th SMW to 31st which coincided fruiting and harvesting fruits. maximum 27th minimum second SMW. decreased August January. There a significant positive correlation temperature (r=0.33), (r=0.83), average (r=0.77), evening relative humidity (r=0.50), (r=0.41), rainy days (r=0.38), rainfall (r=0.37) wind velocity (0.66). However, there nonsignificant morning duration bright sunshine hours.
