obliqua population when the crop itself is not in fruit. The high parasitism that occurs
on these plants has the potential to drive A. obliqua population survival rates to near or below replacement levels Selleckchem MX69 and reduce the number of flies re-entering mango orchards in the next crop cycle, although this concept has not been the subject of systematic study.
