Non-Host Status of Green Lemon Fruit (<i>Citrus</i> × <i>limon</i> (L.) Burman f. cv. Lisbon) to Oriental Fruit Fly, Mediterranean Fruit Fly, and Melon Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Hawaii.

Forced Infestation in Small Cages In small laboratory cage tests, the effect of fruit status (punctured lemons, intact lemons, papaya controls) was highly significant for numbers of Oriental fruit fly pupae (χ 2 = 13.4, p < 0.001) and adults (χ 2 = 13.4, p < 0.001) per kg of fruit, Mediterranean fruit fly pupae (χ 2 = 15.8, p < 0.0004) and adults (χ 2 = 15.6, p < 0.0004) per kg of fruit, and numbers of melon fruit fly pupae (χ 2 = 7.0, p < 0.03) and adults (χ 2 = 7.0, p < 0.03) per kg of fruit ( Table 1 ).
