Abstract
A minimum of ca. 200 days of chilling at 3°C was needed to minimize days-to-emergence after chilling and to maximize synchronization of emergence of the western cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis indifferens (Tephritidae), under laboratory conditions at 26.7°C and photoperiod 19L:5D. Because of this effect, rearing of flies from field-collected material is preferred to mass rearing on artificial diet.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
