Abstract

This chaper describes the areawide pest management (AWPM) programme for the Hawaii fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae). The programme included developing and integrating biologically based pest technology into a comprehensive IPM package that was economically viable, environmentally friendly and sustainable. It included operational, research, education and assessment components. The technologies included (i) field sanitation; (ii) application of protein bait sprays; (iii) male and female annihilation with male lures and other attractants; (iv) sterile insect releases; and (v) conservation or release of beneficial parasitoids. The development and implementation of education and technology transfer programmes are discussed for the success of the AWPM programme. The implementation of the AWPM programme and its compatibility with crop management and management of co-occurring pests; efficacy at controlling the target pest; unintended negative and positive consequences; sociological evaluation; and economic evaluation of cost and benefits are discussed.
