Abstract
Carpophilus humeralis F. is one of the main pests on pineapple in Puerto Rico. This insect has high population densities because of a high reproductive potential, each female under laboratory conditions, lays about 542 eggs over a two month period, averaging 9 eggs per day; short larval period (18 days); longevity of adults (2.5 months); and abundance of ripe fruit in pineapple fields as sites for constant reproduction.Downloads
