Olive Fruit Flies Threaten Crops and Prevention Methods Help Reduce Losses
The olive fruit fly is considered one of the most dangerous pests threatening olive crops. Females lay their eggs inside the fruits, and the larvae feed on the pulp, leading to fruit damage and a decline in oil quality. Infestation causes premature fruit drop and increases the oil's acidity, with potential crop losses ranging from 50% to 100% if appropriate control measures are not taken. The pest spreads significantly during the summer, especially when temperatures are moderate between 20 and 30°C. It is essential to adopt preventive practices such as monitoring the fields, using pheromone traps, removing infested fruits, maintaining orchard cleanliness, and proper pruning to reduce the presence of the pest.
