USD A reduces Medfly WASHINGTON, D.C. - The number of square miles in California under aerial pesticide treatment for Mediterranean fruit fly has been reduced to reflect progress made in eradicating the pest, U.S. Department of Agriculture officials said. “We’ve dropped the areas with no recent fly finds from our treatment blocks,” said Harvey L.

Market Provided by Commodity Department Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc. areas spray Inspection Service, which manages the program with California’s Department of Food and Agriculture. According to Ford, about 210 sauare miles will still be sprayed over the winter months, but on a 2- week schedule? rather than weekly. About 1,300 square miles were under treatment in California at the height of the infestation last summer. “In addition, some other program elements will be scaled down to reflect the seasonal decrease in fly activity,” he said. According to Ford, close to 100,000 Medfly traps remain in the state. Those in areas of recent fly finds will be serviced weekly, as before, while others will go on a 2-week schedule. “Barring unexpected finds, we will remain on these treatment and trapping schedules until warmer temperatures trigger increased fly activity in the spring,” he said. “At that time, we may pick up flies in scattered locations, and if con ditions dictate we will adjust program operations accordingly.” Ford said people still need to comply with regulations on movement of Medfly hosts. “Public cooperation has been much unproved lately,” he said. "One reason may be that less host fruit is available, but I hope it also means people have a better un derstanding of why they mustn’t carry the fruit out.
