At 3 DAT, larvae and pupae in fruit in the insecticide treatments remained significantly lower than the untreated,except for the malathion and pyrethrin treatments, which were not significantly different from the untreated. From 5 DAT onwards, the number of larvae and pupae in the pyrethrin treatment was not significantly different from the untreated controls. At this time, the malathion and spinetoram treatments had some larvae in the fruit, but at levels that were lower than the untreated. While several of the treatments had larvae in the fruit at 7 DAT, the results were not significant (P ¼ 0.062). All nsecticide treatments except malathion and pyrethrin continued to have a significantly
lower number of larvae in fruit.
