Every fruit on my guava and sapodilla was infected. From web I tried several methods. None worked to my satisfaction until i found a more effective and permanent solution by chance. I grow Oleander flowers for my prayers. I used to find some insects stuck in the flowers. I used to pick such flowers and throw them away. One day I was curious to find what sort of insect was stuck up. Then I found it was fruit fly. I tested a number of such flowers and found most of them were fruit flies. An idea struck that If I could grow Oleander flowers closer to the trees it might be helpful. That's what I did a year ago and when the plants started flowering, my wife started picking most of the flowers for a friend, not listening to me. I sent her to India for 5 months. After three months I found both guava and sapodilla were so good I danced with joy. This method needs no chemicals which are always harmful to our environment. I would like to hear from others who would like to try this method. Ramani A bout a year ago I was at the bottom level of fruit growing. Every fruit on my guava and sapodilla was infected.
