-- Tephritidae fruit flies are among the most damaging pests of fruit crops worldwide. Ceratitis capitata wiedemann, for instance, can infest more than 250 fruit and vegetable crop species, and constitutes the main phytosanitary constrain for export purposes. The International Atomic Energy Agency through the Project RLA/5/043 (ARCAL XXXIII) “ARMONIZED QUARANTINE REGULATION FOR THE IRRADIATION OF FRESH FRUITS”, along with Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela, initiated investigations to demonstrate viability of irradiation as a quarantine treatment and to validate it as such. Besides, Peru began investigations through the Peruvian Institute of Nuclear Energy by carrying out a research at both SENASA’s Production Center of Sterile Fruit Flies and PIMU’s laboratory; it was supervised by Dr. Guy Hallman, an OIEA’s irradiation expert. This research comprised two stages: 1) Determine the minimum irradiation dose to avoid emergence of fruit fly adults (bioassay test), and 2) Evaluate 30,000 individuals (having been exposed to the minimum effective dose) to provide statistically reliable data (confirmatory test). It was confirmed that no adult emergence occurred at 0.1 kGy, and no significant differences were found between treated and non-treated mangoes when both chemical and organoleptic tests were applied.
