1. Introduction
1.1. Background & Justification
Mango is known as king of fruits, which is grown throughout the length & breath of our country except the temperate and arid regions. It is available to the consumer right from Mid
March to Mid September from one region of the other, the longest any fruit is available in fresh form in our country. The earliest varieties are from South and the availability extends to May-July to September northwards.
Although mango is now being grown in more than 87 countries of the world, but no where it is so greatly valued as in India where it occupies an area of 1063 million hectares with a total production of 9337 million metric tones contributing 40% of the area devoted to fruit crops in
India. India contributes a major share (70%) in world production of mango, which is in the order of
13.44 million MT and far exceeds other countries. The major mango growing states are Uttar
Pradesh, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. However the export figures of mango is negligible compared to the huge mango production within the country.
Among the various factors that affect the exports, include compliance with stringent phytosanitary requirements to gain market access to most developed countries, including the additional declarations for pest free area status against fruit flies as well as post-harvest disinfestations/disnfection treatments are critical. The NPPO of exporting country requires establishing fruit fly free areas, in order to consider the export of fresh fruits without any postharvest treatment, including detailed description of the activities to maintain the condition in the area to guarantee the soundness of the surveillance and monitoring system used. Once the NPPO of importing country approves the condition of the area as pest free, the NPPO of exporting country shall communicate the name of an official responsible for periodically providing information on trapping measures at the national level as well as the name of specialists authorized to perform the official identification of fruit fly specimens which may appear in the area of interest.
Further records of the daily activities, which are carried out to maintain the condition in that area including audits should be made available. It is also considered necessary to use standard traps, specific lures and harmonized trapping procedures and proper documentation of records to ensure the fruit fly free area status is maintained so as to comply with the requirements of importing country.
Adoption of uniform and harmonized survey and monitoring protocols are critical for establishment of fruit fly area freedom in the designated pest free areas using permanent trapping grids. The surveys are required to be carried out over a continuous period of 12 months during which period no detection of suspected fruit fly should occur. If fruit flies are detected and subsequently eradicated, the surveys should be continued for another 12 months from the date of eradication.
The actions necessary to establish this type of fruit fly areas are well described in ‘ISPM No. 4:
Requirements for Establishment of Pest Free Areas’ developed by the Food & Agriculture
Organization
6

Therefore, there is an urgent need to draw a national programme for fruit fly surveillance involving state governments and the associated agencies, research institutes, agriculture universities, growers/producers’ associations, traders etc., document the information about the roles played by the various stakeholders, management structure and responsibilities, training and resource requirements and the needed budgetary support for successful operation of the programme.
1.2. Objectives of the programme
The overall aim of the programme is to develop a sustained system for survey and monitoring of fruit flies with a view to establish and maintain the pest free areas, which are internationally recognized and accepted so as to gain the market access for fresh fruits and further sustaining fruit fly free productions and quality exports.
The objectives of the national plan shall include:
 to develop appropriate database on the occurrence, distribution of various fruit flies in India and their host range, economic significance and their management;
 to develop effective survey and monitoring protocols for detection of fruit flies with a view to establish pest free areas;
 to establish a regular fruit fly detection system through the operation of a permanent trapping grid and the response plan;
 to create public awareness campaign on fruit flies, their quarantine status and their management in quality fruit production and exports;

to minimise the impact of fruit flies on fruit production and thereby sustaining the food security, trade and the environment, by strengthening national and regional capacities in fruit fly management;

to enhance quarantine preparedness to respond to exotic fruit fly incursions
2. Components of Activity
2.1.Establishment of regular detection system of fruit flies
It is equally recognised fact that establishment of regular fruit fly detection system is critical for sustaining fruit fly surveillance. The main goal of the regular detection system is to early detect any fruit fly incursions into the pest free areas. This would include establishment of a permanent trapping grid in designated PFAs. It basically consists of well-organized trapping network, which is based on trap density as determined by risk zones. The traps and kind of lures used vary with different kind of fruit flies. The activities include positioning of about 54000 traps at appropriate sites, regular monitoring of traps by skilled and trained field inspectors to detect any fruit flies and to take appropriate immediate action. The response plan in the event of single fruit fly detection
(either adult male or un-mated female) includes supplementary trapping up to a distance of 7 Km, including systematic fruit sampling up to 200 m, around the finding site. The multiple detection
(either one inseminated female or immature stages of fruit fly or multiple finding) triggers the phase of eradication and the delimitation-trapping grid is further extended. Besides enhanced trapping network, systematic fruit sampling would be required to be carried out up to 800 m.
Further control measures are carried out such as toxic bait spraying, fruit stripping and soil
7

drenching in a working area of 200 m around every finding site and a regulated area is set up to a distance of 7.2 Km around every finding site
2.2.
Enhancement of technical capacities in fruit fly surveillance
The project further envisages capacity building in the area of fruit fly surveillance by way of imparting training to field inspectors in undertaking proper fruit fly surveillance and also training programmes in fruit fly taxonomy for research fellows attached to reference entomologists for enhancing the skills in fruit fly identification. Under the project it is programmed to organize about four training programmes each of one week duration exclusively on fruit fly survey and monitoring for surveillance inspectors and one week training programme in fruit fly taxonomy for research fellows. The project will involve organization of a technical workshop for reference entomologists from respective states and fruit fly experts from ICAR institutes and technical experts from Dte of PPQS and other relevant organizations for exchange of scientific information about the fruit flies and the international/national standards on fruit fly surveillance.
2.3.
Enhancement of fruit fly awareness
Another important component of the programme will include enhancement of awareness of quarantine importance of fruit flies through multimedia presentation. This will be required to gain public co-operation, which is essential to minimize new incursions of fruit flies both in domestic front as well as exotic incursions. These programmes will be organized at regional level to facilitate greater participation of researchers, extension officers, farmers, traders, associate bodies and public for adopting right code of practices for efficient management of fruit flies in designated
PFAs and regulated mechanisms and thereby sustaining quality exports. The main goal of this activity is to build up community efforts in fruit fly surveillance and eradication for sustaining quality exports. This will also include consultation with stakeholders for effective implementation of programme.
2.4.
Quarantine surveillance against exotic fruit fly incursions
Another important component of activity includes effective quarantine surveillance against exotic fruit fly incursions. This will be initiated by positioning traps at the international airports/sea ports/land border stations and diplomatic enclaves, tourist places, metropolitan market areas and flight kitchen waste dumping sites. For this purpose a total of 2000 traps charged with capi lures/cue lures will be laid at 1000 trapping sites. The traps will be regularly monitored by quarantine surveillance inspectors on weekly basis and any fruit flies caught in the traps will be collected and forwarded to fruit fly taxonomist located at the IIHR, Bangalore for species identification. If any exotic fruit fly species is intercepted, further quarantine surveillance will be intensified at the finding site by resorting to supplementary trapping. Further effective surveillance on import of fresh fruits through passenger baggages will be carried out.

Surveillance Units (ASUs). The senior inspectors will ensure that proper inspection of traps is carried out by the surveillance inspectors at regular intervals as required, recharging/replacement of traps as considered necessary at specified intervals, collection and forwarding of specimens to reference entomologist for identification, timely reporting of the activities and effective implementation of appropriate measures following the detection of fruit flies of concern. The
Research Associates will assist reference entomologist (SAUs) in fruit fly identification and maintenance of reference specimens and the relevant records. The emoluments of SRF/RA will be as per the O.M. No.A-20020/11/97-IFD dated 2 nd August 2002 of Department of Science &
Technology, Government of India.
11

11. Training of surveillance Inspectors/Research fellows
There will be four training programmes organised at ICAR institutes (IIHR, Bangalore/CISH,
Lucknow & NRCG, Pune) for training surveillance inspectors on fruit fly surveillance, which include: preparation of grid maps, installation of fruit fly traps (trap positioning); specification of fruit fly traps; preparation of lures/insecticide solutions, bar code recording of trap data, recording of results of fruit fly inspection, collection and dispatching fruit fly specimens for identification, reporting of surveillance data recharging of fruit fly traps and replacement of fruit fly traps as per the approved training manual in line with guidelines prescribed in national standard. Each programme will be of one week duration and involve a participation of 36 surveillance inspectors.
In addition one training programme will be organised for research associate attached to reference entomologist on fruit fly taxonomy and identification at IIHR, Bangalore for a minimum period of two weeks. The trainees (research associate) will be provided with appropriate pest keys to facilitate identification of fruit flies.
12. Auditing of Surveillance Activities
The surveillance activities will be audited by technical auditors duly nominated by the National
Coordinator. At the end of each audit an audit report in the format prescribed in the national standard will be submitted by the lead auditor to the National Project Coordinator In case any deficiencies/nonconformities observed and the corrective actions required to bee undertaken will be communicated to the concerned area coordinators and the time schedules by which implemented under intimation to National Project Coordinator and the corrective action taken report prepared by the auditor will be communicated to the National Coordinator.
13. Review & Reporting
There would be an annual review of the programme at the end of each year to assess the progress of the implementation of the project. A project report would be submitted at the end of second year.
The project report would highlight the brief achievements of the project and make approriate recommendations for future continuance of the programme by the respective state governments and action plans for maintenance of pest free areas for sustaining quality exports.
14. Expected Outputs of the Project & Indicators
At the end of first year, it is expected that a database on fruit flies would be established by the
Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine & Storage and a national standard would be developed and established on ‘survey and monitoring protocols against fruit flies for establishment of pest free areas’. It is further envisaged that area surveillance units would be established in designated areas and fruit fly surveillance units at international airports/sea ports/land border stations. Further it is expected that suitable surveillance software would be developed and installed and a surveillance network is established. A permanent trapping grid would be established with trapping network of 56000 traps in an area of about 24650 Km 2 distributed in five states viz., A.P., Goa,
Gujarat, Maharashtra and U.P., for regular detection of fruit fly incursions manned by trained field inspectors. It is expected that pest free areas would be established in designated areas, which are internationally recognised by the end of second year and enhanced public awareness on fruit fly
12

management practices and quarantine importance of fruit flies and enhanced capacity building in fruit fly surveillance and identification capabilities at regional levels
It is further stated that the expected outputs of the project would greatly depend upon the following factors viz.,
 timely approval of the project
 timely recruitment/training of field inspectors
 approval of reference entomologists
 timely release of funds
 timely procurement of equipments and supply of traps/lures
15. Benefits/Risks associated with the Project
As a result of successful implementation of project, it would be possible that India could establish pest free areas against fruit flies, which are internationally recognised there by compliance with international agreements and thus gaining market access to developed countries for export of fresh fruits. India with huge fruit industry would be in a position to enhance the export of quality fruits from these fruit fly areas. Further through the establishment of pest free areas the need to apply quarantine treatments could be avoided, if not minimized.
The risk associated with the project expected to be minimal as the programme implemented in collaboration with ICAR/SAUs.
