Abstract

The fecundity of apple maggot females was significantly greater (P <.05) on apple than on black ceresin wax domes. Eggs/female laid in apple varied from 24.8 to 318.1 and that in domes from 0.4 to 27.5. Mated females did not lay significantly more eggs than virgins and those confined in groups did not lay significantly more than those confined individually. These findings do not concur with those reported in the literature.
