Abstract

In this study the guava fruit fly Bactrocera correcta Bezzi (1916) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is reported from
Kulgam, a major peach growing area in South Kashmir through July-August, 2020. District Kulgam
was the leading producer of peaches with an annual production of 412MT during the 2018-19 growing
season. This potential pest was trapped along with B. zonata and B. dorsalis in a simple bottle-type trap
containing methyl eugenol and SPLAT.
