Tephritid fruit flies pose major ecological and economic threats to global agriculture and fruit trade. To address these challenges sustainably, modern pest control requires innovative, ecologically grounded approaches.
We are pleased to announce our Frontiers Research Topic, “Next-Generation Integrated Pest Management of Tephritid Fruit Flies: Ecology, Innovation, and Sustainable Control”, published in Frontiers in Agronomy. Project team member (HRZZ-IP-2022-10-9643) Dr. Qaiser Javed and project leader Dr. Elda Vitanović, are serving as Guest Editors for this special issue.
Key focus areas:
- Agroecological approaches and biological control
- Semiochemicals, attractants, and biopesticides
- Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) and genetic control strategies
- Climate change impacts on fruit fly distribution and behavior
- Digital monitoring and decision-support systems for precision agriculture
