Discussion

Laboratory analysis evaluated botanical extracts' impact on Bactrocera zonata, suggesting neem and bakain are effective treatments.

Botanical treatments effectively reduced peach fruit fly populations, with neem having the most significant impact.
Neem extract resulted in the highest pupal mortality (58%) and pupation inhibition (73%), while bakain showed the least mortality (26.6%).
Garlic and tobacco demonstrated reductions in pupal weight, suggesting potential alternatives for managing B. zonata.
Pupal duration was significantly affected by neem, while bakain caused maximum adult emergence, indicating varying efficacy among botanicals.

Ullah et al. (2025) studied this question.
