This was published in the Greener Journal of Agricultural Sciences (2012) by Badii Kongyeli Benjamin, Billah Maxwell Kelvin, Afreh-Nuamah Kwame, and Obeng-Ofori Daniel. It surveys 188 fruit growers across northern Ghana, revealing that while most farmers recognize fruit flies as a serious threat, many struggle to identify the pest species correctly, and few use recommended control methods like trapping or bait application.
