Abstract We studied the reproduction of Bactrocera oleae in new substrates. Became harvest of infected olive fruits and we placed them in plastic containers. Then became the collection of larvae and the positioning in plastic petri. Later in the perfect stage were placed in breeding cages, where became rearing of Bactrocera oleae with sugar and liquid food. Still was observed that Bactrocera oleae preferred new fruits for egg laying. We tested different fruits except for the olive fruit, such as tomato red and green, green peppers, pink and black plums, apple (Firiki, Pink Lady),karaliok ( hybrid F1 generation), aubergine, avocado, orange. Was observed the walking of Bactrocera oleae in some fruit, where is stating their acceptance. They laid eggs in the fruits of pink and black plums, and the Karaliok and was compared fruit together red and green peppers, pink and black plums. Following control of fruits for the larva existence, we took away skin of the fruits which was in egg laying on the holes so as to examine the existence for live larva. After was measured the number of born eggs per three days. Finally the fruits were tested for their resistance with two pistons.
