  ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the effectiveness of four Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches in the control of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) [Diptera: Tephritidae] and Ceratitis cosyra (Walker) [Diptera: Tephritidae] during two consecutive mango fruiting seasons (2018 and 2019) in the south-Sudanian zone of Burkina Faso. These approaches, including sanitation + M3 bait station (SM), sanitation + protein GF-120 bait (SG), sanitation + Timaye + M3 bait station (STM) and sanitation + Timaye + GF-120 bait (STG), were implemented in 12 mango orchards in three provinces of the country. In each province, one mango orchard was used as control. Flies per trap per week (FTW) and damage indices were assessed in treated orchards compared to the control orchards. The efficacy rate of each IPM approach in protecting mango against fruit fly attacks was also determined. The STG approach was the most effective in reducing both B. dorsalis and C. cosyra FTW with the best efficacy rate. Further research should emphasize indigenous and affordable attract-and-kill tools for resource poor farmers.
