The mango fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a devastating pest of mango fruit. The present study was performed to investigate the potential of ants as biocontrol agents against B. dorsalis. The two predatory ant species Camponotus compressus (Fabricius) and Messor himalayanus (Forel) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) were used in field and laboratory experiments against B. dorsalis. Mangifera indica (L.) (Anacardiaceae) mangoes were exposed to various numbers of ants. Females of B. dorsalis were monitored for landing, oviposition, and time spent on treated and untreated mango fruits. In a Y-tube olfactometer, the response was tested of B. dorsalis towards mangoes that were either exposed or not to ants. Results showed that female adults oviposited 5× more on unexposed mangoes than on exposed mangoes. Ant secretions affected the behavior of B. dorsalis and reduced oviposition, number of landings, and time spent on the fruits. It can be concluded that a population of B. dorsalis might be controlled using the secretions of ants.

蚂蚁种类 Camponotus compressus 和 Messor Himalayanus 分泌物对 Bactrocera dorsalis 的影响

芒果果蝇Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (双翅目: Tephritidae) 是一种毁灭性的芒果果实害虫。本研究旨在调查蚂蚁作为对抗B. dorsalis 的生物防治剂的潜力。两种捕食性蚂蚁物种Camponotus compressus (Fabricius) 和Messor Himalayanus (Forel)（膜翅目：蚁科）被用于针对B 的田间和实验室实验。背肌。Mangifera indica (L.) (Anacardiaceae) 芒果暴露于不同数量的蚂蚁。B. dorsalis 的雌性对着陆、产卵以及处理和未处理芒果果实的时间进行监测。在 Y 形管嗅觉计中，测试了B. dorsalis对暴露于或未暴露于蚂蚁的芒果的反应。结果表明，雌性成虫在未暴露芒果上的排卵量比在暴露芒果上多 5 倍。蚂蚁分泌物影响B. dorsalis的行为并减少产卵、着陆次数和花在果实上的时间。可以得出结论，可以使用蚂蚁的分泌物控制B. dorsalis的种群。
