Intelligent fruit fly monitoring to protect olive yield and quality
Olives are used worldwide as a savory delicacy and as oil for cooking, cosmetics, lighting, and religious ceremonies. They are an economically and culturally vital crop in semi-arid regions.
Despite their resilience, olive trees are highly threatened by the olive fruit fly — a destructive pest capable of infecting up to 80% of the total yield, causing severe economic losses.
As the pest develops inside the fruit, applying pest control against adult flies immediately upon emergence is critical to reduce damage in the field.
