Abstract
Abstract Three cultivars of mandarins, ‘Imperial’, ‘Ellendale’ and ‘Murcott’ and one tangelo, ‘Minneola’, were shown to be disinfested of Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) by cold treatment at 1 °C for 16 days. From a total of 3885 treated fruit of all cultivars, estimated to contain 176,715 first instars — judged to be the most tolerant in-fruit stage of the pest — there were no survivors. This treatment efficacy meets all known international market requirements.
