Resumo:Olive products are premium food products. Their inherent chemical composition and sensory attributes make them highly appreciated worldwide. Olive products quality and composition are severely compromised by diversified agricultural and technological factors, among which olive pests play a key factor, particularly the olive fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae). This pest reveals cultivar oviposition preference being the cause of severe economic damages caused each year. Losses goes from the field and tree to consumers table.
