Determination of distribution, emergence period, population fluctuation and infestation rate of cherry fruit fly (Rhagoletis cerasi L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae) in cherry orchards of Mardin province (Turkey)

This study was carried out to determine distribution, emergence period, population fluctuation of Cherry Fruıt Fly (Rhagoletis cerasi L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae) in cherry orchards of Mardin province in 2013 and 2014. Studies were conducted through vegetation period in the orchards which have at least 50 cherry trees of Napolyon (Ziraat 900) varieties in each orchard. In the studies, visual yellow colored adhesive attractive traps were used in the monitoring of the pest. As a result of studies, adults of cherry fruit fly were seen first time in traps in the first week of May when the fruits were in the hay-yellow period. In addition, it was determined that the adults of the pest produced the highest density and damage in this period. It was determined that the population development of the pest continued about 21-42 days and the adult population continued until the third and last week of June, the infestation rate was between 0.1% and 0.7%.
