Description:
We investigate the effect of chitosan coatings to kill the immature stages of Anastrepha ludens
(Mexican fruit fly) in mango fruits (cv. Ataulfo). The fruits were effectively infested after exposure of 4 h to gravid females. Larvae of first, second and third instars were found inside the fruits 3, 7 and 10 d after oviposition. No embryos, first or second larval instar was developed when the fruits were coated 0.5, 2, 4 and 8 d after oviposition. We suggest the mass transfer (CO2 and O2) modification can be implicated in those results. In contrast, application of chitosan ...
