Fruit flies in north-eastern Brazil

The aim of this research was to help farmers, students and interested parties identify the main genera of fruit flies associated with the most favoured fruit trees. For students, direct contact with phytosanitary problems in practice is important for their training as teachers, professionals and citizens. In addition, those of us in the academic field have an obligation to return our acquired knowledge to society, because it is through society that we have the opportunity to research and obtain answers to our proposed objectives.
