Abstract

Productive backyards are used by farmers and settlers as a space to plant the family's favorite fruit and agricultural species, presenting their cultural characteristics, through specific techniques and also regional plants capable of guaranteeing food security. and nutritional. However, the presence of insects that compromise fruit orchards in productive backyards can be a limitation in achieving more profitable production, with these spaces lacking Ecological Pest Management programs and technical assistance. Thus, the present work aimed to diagnose fruit fly species and the acceptance of management techniques in productive backyards in the São Frutuoso Settlement in São Luís do Quitunde, Alagoas. As a result, fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha were collected in traps associated with different fruit species, in addition to the association carried out by farmers in a free list of different pest taxa, including organisms beyond the Class Insecta. Regarding the management techniques presented, the use of fruit fly traps was the most accepted technique.
