Abstract
Three cultivars of Averrhoa carambola (L.) fruits at four stages of ripeness were infested with laboratory-reared Anastrepha suspensa (Loew). Overall, ‘Golden Star’ fruit was significantly less susceptible than ‘Arkin’ or ‘Fwang Tung’ by the following measures of infestation: numbers of eggs laid in fruit, number of pupae developing from fruit, and average weight of pupae. However, cultivar-specific effects of fruit ripeness were detected, with infestation levels increasing with ripeness in some cultivars and declining in others.
