The mango fruit fly Bactocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephnidae) is believed to be the single most devastative pest of mango in Bihar. It accounts for about 27 per cent of harvesting loss. The flies attack semi ripe and mature fruits during the months of April and May. On Farm Trail conducted at 14 farmers plot of Kishanganj district, fly monitoring and fruit infestation estimation were recorded during the two experimental seasons 2012-13 and 2013-14. Maximum (33%) fruit fly infestation recorded where no any control measures or spray of chemical applied for population (Farmers Practice). Use of commercial fruit fly lure@ 5/acre + spray of Rogor 30 Ec @ 1.5 ml at the time of peanut size fruits show noticeable reduction of fruit fly percent infestation on fruit and also receive maximum (3.09) B:C ratio which also support the finding of Ray et al., (2016).
