Abstract : Management guidelines for Anastrepha obliqua associated with mango in Central America are summarized. The control measures are: the use of mango varieties which fruit during the dry season when the pest population density is low; the selection of mango varieties into well-defined plots; large distances between trees; avoidance of secondary hosts and broad-leaved trees as live posts for fences; monitoring of the adult population in relation to fruit plant phenology; determination of levels of fruit infestation and application of insecticide accordingly; and removal of remnant fruit after harvest.
