Tephritid fruit flies are of major importance among wide range of insect pests infesting horticultural crops. They exhibit endophagous feeding behavior, which causes both quantitative and qualitative yield reductions. High reproductive potential, broad host range (polyphagy), multivoltine life cycle, protection of maggots within host tissues, high mobility of adults and great climate tolerance challenge their management. As a result, they pose significant threats to global fruit and vegetable production. The pest affects a broad array of fruit and fleshy vegetable crops in tropical and subtropical regions. As a result of intensification of regulatory constraints on insecticides and the rising global demand for safe free food products, there has been a marked shift toward the development of eco-compatible and sustainable strategies for the management of fruit fly populations. The prolonged persistence of chemicals resulted in harmful residue build-up on fruits, raising concerns for both human safety and environmental sustainability, thus highlighting the need for alternative approaches to manage this pest. Different techniques such as behavioral interventions i.e. Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), Male Annihilation Technique (MAT) and quarantine-based measures can play a crucial role in developing a comprehensive fruit fly management program.
