Biochar-derived smoke waters affect bactrocera oleae behavior and control the olive fruit fly under field conditions

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    A recent study was conducted to assess the effect of SW on OLF, reporting a strong repulsive effect toward the adult fly during in_vitro experiments. Specific hypotheses were: (i) ingestion of SWs can increase mortality and reduce the fitness of OLF; (ii) SWs alter the OLF microbiome reducing the "Ca. Erwinia dacicola" titer; (iii) exposure to SWs can hamper the ability of adult OLF to locate the position of fresh green olives in the lab; and_(iv) SW application can reduce the damage to olive production caused by the female OLF. Two blends were . . .
