TI - Exotic fruit fly pests and California agriculture JF - California Agriculture JO - Calif Agr Y1 - 1989/05/01 VL - 43 IS - 3 SP - 38 EP - 40 PB - University of California Agriculture and Nature Resources SN - 0008-0845 UR - http://www.ucanr.edu/sites/calagjournal/archive/?article=ca.v043n03p38 AB - Because of their worldwide distribution and numbers, future introductions of fruit flies into California are inevitable. Infestations of economically important pests, including but not limited to the medfly, Mexican fruit fly, and oriental fruit fly, are expensive to treat, and their elimination is seldom certain. Researchers are seeking to improve detection and control methods.
