Summary: The objectives of the project in 2001-2002 were to: 1. Develop a laboratory source of larval and adult flies available throughout the year for biological studies. 2. Manage a cherry orchard at the ARS Moxee Farm specifically to establish a population of cherry fruit flies for use in field studies. 3. Initiate trapping studies to determine degree day phenology of flies, to test attractants, to conduct behavioral studies and to determine dispersal distances.
