Pupal Eye Colour Changes of Different Fruit Fly Pests

This book contains documented pupal eye color of different fruit fly species used for area-wide integrated pest management programme based on Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). The pupal eye color identified for each species can be used as reference guide by different mass rearing facilities for radiation sterilization of pupae at desired holding temperature to speed up or delay pupal development. The recommended pupal eye color is very useful to avoid or solve anticipated problems that maybe encountered in mass rearing operations and in SIT release program.
