Summary

As a quarantine measure in export fruit in Thailand, fruits of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) infested with 3rd-instar larvae of Bactrocera dorsalis were held at 5, 6 and 7 deg C for up to 20 days. Probit regression lines were fitted to the data for exposure time against insect mortality, and the exposure times for 99.9968% mortality were calculated to be 19.4 and 24.9 days for treatment at the 3 temperatures, respectively.
