Abstract
Addition of cyromazine to adult diet affected negatively the developme nt of Ceratitis capitata Wied. (Dipt., Tephritidae) offspring. Five co ncentrations of cyromazine (0.00001 mg/ml, 0.01 mg/ml, 0.1 mg/ml, 1 mg /ml and 10 mg/ml) have been tested. A reduction of Mediterranean fruit fly populations has been found mainly due to the effects of fertility and larval development. At these concentrations, cyromazine does not affect Ceratitis capitata fecundity.
