Abstract

The authors, members of the IOBC working group on genetic control of the European cherry fruit flyRhagoletis cerasi L., present the summarized results of a joint 4-year experiment aiming at the optimalization of storage conditions for stockpiled pupae. Highest emergence rates are achieved by chilling periods of 5 to 6 months and recommended storage temperatures are close to the developmental threshold of +5°C. Total storage time of pupae should not exceed 14 months.
