Map of the peach orchard located near Rome, central Italy.
The name of the cultivar indicates its position in the orchard. Colours represent the harvesting month of different cultivars. Dots show the position of sampling sites.
Table 1.
Area occupied and periods of ripening (grey colour), from veraison to harvest, reported for each cultivar in the orchard.
Table 2.
Results of the correlation analysis carried out to assess the relationships between males obtained by VasoTrap and Jackson trap; total males with unmated and mated females; and unmated females with mated females.
Fig 2.
Weekly Ceratitis capitata catches of females and males trapped in VasoTraps and males trapped in Jackson traps, expressed as the mean (±SE) number of flies per trap per week in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Average weekly data for mean temperature were obtained from daily recordings from the meteorological station located near the peach orchard.
Fig 3.
Weekly Ceratitis capitata catches of unmated and mated females, expressed as the mean (±SE) number of flies per trap per week in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Average weekly data for mean temperature were obtained from daily recordings from the meteorological station located near the peach orchard.

Results of ANOVA on the effect of cultivar and chemical treatments in male and unmated and mated female captures.
Fig 4.
Mean (±SE) number of flies per trap per day obtained from the 3-year sampling trap catches collected in peach cultivars in the orchard.
Calculated for total males (A), unmated females (B) and mated females (C).

Contour maps showing the medfly hot spot distribution obtained using the kriging algorithm applied to 2011 monthly trap counts of males (from Jackson traps and VasoTraps) and unmated and mated females.
Trap locations in the field are represented by black dots; x and y axes are expressed in UTM coordinates.
