UC Scientists Battle Oriental Fruit Flies In Five Nation Program
Researchers at the University of California Davis Riverside and affiliates in Hawaii China and Formosa lead a five pronged attack to prevent the Oriental fruit fly invasion of California. The program funds up to nearly a million dollars from federal state and territorial sources to kill or control the pest through commodity treatment biological and chemical controls area control and ecological studies. The fly first appeared in Hawaii in 1946 likely carried home by servicemen after World War II and quickly became a major crop pest. Efforts include releasing natural enemies from Malaya and developing vapor heat and fumigation treatments to protect mainland shipments and future California produce Spokane
