Sažetak
During 2005-06, influence of irrigation on olive fruits susceptibility to olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae Gmelin (Diptera, Tephritidae) was explored on two locations planted in karst soil condition in middle Dalmatia. Inside olive orchards, the difference between irrigated and non irrigated plots was observed, in accordance to B. oleae adults population fluctuation and fruit infestation. Olive fruits infestation by B. oleae and fruit drop in Splitsko – dalmatinska county, was higher on irrigated plot from July till November, during both years of experiment, at signifficant level. Olive fruits infestation by B. oleae and fruit drop in Zadarska county, was not recorded during July and August, mainly because of low population of B. oleae adults and unfavourable abiotic conditions. Later, during Sept. and October, olive fruits infestation and fruit drop was higher on irrigated plot at signifficant level. Results of investigation confirm that besides abiotic factors, growing conditions with or withouth irrigation could signifficantly increase B. oleae infestation in fruits.
