Abstract
The peach fruit fly, (PFF) Bactrocera zonata (Diptera, Tephritidae) is one of the most serious pests on Egypt. This study was carried out to evaluate three pesticides; Lannate, Vertimic and Tracer against adults of (PFF.) under laboratory conditions. Lannate was the most toxic among the three tested compounds following by Vertimic and then Tracer on the flies at 24, 48 and 72 hours post-treatment. LC50 values were 0.25, 3.26 and 9.34 ppm for males and 0.16, 3.64 and 11.59 ppm for females after 72 hours to Lannate, Vertimic and Tracer respectively. The treatment of LC50's pesticides have significant effecte on biological behavior of female. All pesticides shorted longevity and reduced the fecundity. The deterrent index % were 27.39, 34.98 and 16.48 for Lannate, Vertimic and Tracer respectively. Conclusively, on the basis of the results achieved, it was concluded that Lannate was most effective pesticides on B zonata in comparison with Vertimec and Tracer. But the two pesticides Vertimec and Tracer are a new and highly promising pesticides with efficacy against B zonata . Because the contact toxicity of two pesticides are very low for both vertebrates and invertebrates in comparison with Lannate.
