Fruit Fly Research and Development in Africa - Towards a Sustainable Management Strategy to Improve Horticulture
Horticultural sector presents many opportunities for economic development and improving livelihood of growers but several factors constrain production and limit the potential for trade of fruits and vegetables. Tephritid fruit flies constitute a major constraint. They cause enormous losses through d...
