The potential impact of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (wied.), upon establishment in California: an update.

This study updates a 1981 study that was conducted on the economic impact of establishment of Medfly in California, USA. The study considered 22 crops as suitable for Medfly hosts: apples, apricots, avocados, bell peppers, cherries, dates, figs, grapes, grapefruits, kiwifruits, limes, lemons, mandarins, nectarines, olives, peaches, pears, persimmons, plums, prunes and tomatoes. These commodities represent almost 1.6 million acres of irrigated cropland and over $4200 million in value of US farm production. The study estimated two basic sets of costs: (i) the cost of controlling Medfly in the field through increased pesticide application; and (ii) the cost of postharvest treatments to comply with quarantine regulations in order to export out-of-state.
