New quarantine cold treatment for medfly Ceratitis capitata in pomegranates

Short Description

The study aimed to establish a new cold-treatment schedule at 5 °C for fresh pomegranates by determining the required exposure time to mitigate Medfly in the pomegranate ‘Wonderful’ variety. The third-instar larva was deemed the most cold-tolerant instar and was used for this study. The combination of 5.2 °C for 36 days achieved 100 % mortality.
