Mango Types Evaluation in Fruit Flies Attack Rate (Bactrocera Dorsalis) at Mango Production Centers in Three Districts of West Java Province

Abstract

Mango is a type of tropical fruit that is widely cultivated in Indonesia. One of the pests that attack mangoes is the fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis. This study aims to identify the level of fruit fly attacks on various types of mango in the field. The research was conducted at mango production centers in three districts in West Java, namely Cirebon Regency, Majalengka Regency, and Indramayu Regency. Sampling was carried out from November 2019 to January 2020. The research method used was a survey method, and the research location was divided into four clusters based on the altitude and proximity of the location. The variables observed were the attack rate and the number of pupae per kg of fruit. The results showed that there were 27 types of mango from all survey locations, four of them were found in all clusters. The four types of mangoes are Gedong Gincu, Harumanis, Cengkir, and Kweni. Fairly high attack rates were found in Kidangsari, Golek, and Kyozo while high average pupa counts were found in Cultivation, Meat, and Kopek.
