N2 - The Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) is a major pest, infesting hundreds of crop types. The spatio-temporal patterns of the pest and the existence of hot spots are important factors for field monitoring and site-specific pesticide application. A study in deciduous orchards demonstrated that Medfly populations follow the ripening sequence, allowing site-specific treatments within regional management practice according to pest detection and crop dispersal. In addition to formerly known variability at a plot level, it was found also at a sub-plot level, often depending on the stage of the season, and the use of expert knowledge proved feasible in locating local hot spots, although it will still require careful study to verify them.
