Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the influence of agroclimatic factors on the abundance of Anastrepha ludens (Loew) and A. obliqua (Macquart), in orchards of creole “Barranqueño” mango (Mangifera indica L.) in the municipalities of Amatitán, San Cristóbal de la Barranca, and Tequila (Jalisco, Mexico). Eighty-four Multilure traps were established to catch specimens from May to September 2021.The most abundant species was A. ludens (98.7%). The greatest abundance of A. ludens occurred during the postharvest (June) and at new vegetative growth of the mango -with and abundant presence of newly fallen fruit on the ground- (July) in all the municipalities, while A. obliqua was in June. The index of flies captured per trap per day (FTD) had values greater than 0.010, which showed that the study area has a high prevalence of pests. There was a significant correlation (P-value = 0.001) between the abundance of A. ludens with precipitation (19.30-260.60 mm) and minimum temperature (16.7–22.20 °C). The abundance of A. obliqua was very low (504 individuals in total) and did not correlate with any variable. The altitude range (842-1151.75 m asl) could influence the mango phenology and explain the differences in the abundance of these species. These results are evidence that precipitation and the survival of adults of these species, do not have a cause-effect relationship, and that population fluctuations between both Anastrepha species may be correlated with mango phenology and altitude.
